    If you like sars, you *must* try the Bundaberg Sarsparilla...made by the same company who make the yummy gingerbeer. BTW Sars is known as "root beer" in the US, I'm pretty sure it was traditionally brewed (non alcoholic) from the sarsparilla root in the same way ginger beer was brewed from ginger root. I drank it lots while pregnant and all good here!

    Caffeine in small amounts is ok in pregnancy.

    I drink coke maybe 1 a day but DO NOT DRINK TEA OR COFFEE.

    Don't know about Sars but be careful with licorice as it can raise your blood pressure.

    You can have up to 300mgs caffeine a day.
    1 cup of espresso = 150mg
    1 cup of instant coffee = 80mg
    1 cup of decaf coffee = 3mg
    1 cup of tea = 50mg
    1 can of coke = 40mg
    1 cup of hot chocolate = 10mg
    1 cup of chocolate milk = 5mg
    30g of milk chocolate = 5mg
    30g of dark chocolate = 20mg
    30g of chocolate syrup = 5mg

    I usually have a coffee most days, not all, but did avoid during the first trimester.

    Sorry, not sure about Sars
