Drinking caffeinated beverages during pregnancy should not cause harm to the fetus as long as they are consumed in moderation.

Here is some information about caffeine and pregnancy from the March of Dimes website:

"Most experts agree that small amounts of caffeine appear safe during pregnancy. The safety of larger amounts is controversial. Some studies suggest that high caffeine intake may increase the risk of miscarriage and of having a low-birthweight baby. However, there is no solid proof that caffeine causes these problems. Until more is known, women should limit their caffeine intake during pregnancy.

Most experts believe that consuming less than about 300 mg of caffeine per day appears safe in pregnancy.In general, brewed coffee contains the highest amounts of caffeine, with an average of 137 mg per 8-ounce cup. Instant coffee contains about 76 mg per 8-ounce cup A 12-ounce can of caffeinated soda contains about 37 mg."

Definitely ask your OB about it, as he or she may have a different view on this subject. Also, make sure you are getting enough water to prevent dehydration.

Best wishes and take care!

My obstetrician said it really doesn't matter, though most of my friends gave it up. I drank coffee and coke throughout all three, and my kids are fine.

Only large amounts of caffeine can hurt a baby. You can have up to 300 mg of it a day and a cup of coffee has about 150.

Your fine! My nutrioninst told me about 1 can a day, if I was use to drinking it daily, which I was. Sometimes I don't need any, but sometimes I do need the can a day. Your doing ok, especially if your only drinking it once or twice a week. It's doing NO harm to your baby!!!

You should be fine unless you have known health problems. A little isn't ushually harmful.
