I drink at least a double shot latte every day and now I have added a pot of tea to that for some reason, I drink the occasional Coke but if you have a look at the list of ingredients on the can, you will see that caffeine is near the end meaning it doesn't contain a whole lot. I drank way more caffeine with Noah than I do now and so far he looks and acts normal
They reccommend no more than 160mg of caffine a day for PG women. A cafe style coffee can contain up to 100mg caffine. Insant coffee i about 60-80 mg, tea about 50mg. A can of coke contain about 60mg, I think.
I use to have 1 can of coke and a couple cups of tea a day. I stopped drinking coffee, though that was not a frequent thing.
Ah, good. I suppose I should be more worried about the other stuff in coke, rather than just the caffeine, hey? Sounds like I am pretty tame when it comes down to it then. That's a relief
And BG, that is really cool - I can just imagine it'd be a huge saving over the years.
i think i'd be broke by now if i hadn't found coke as a substitute preventative!! at the moment, i'm resisting the urge (feeling too queasy to be honest!) but if i wake in the morning and STILL have this headache, tomorrow arvo i'll be bringing out the big guns!
HERE'S a link to a thread on the effects of drinking a can of cola (any type) on your body... it's from the general health section. I'm not sure on the effects on the fetus but I would assume most of the ingredients would cross the placenta so your bub could be feeling the same effects. HTH
i guess again it comes back to moderation - the article lists worst case scenario - if the only thing you;re consuming for your entire pregnancy is coke, then it's going to be bad for you. but all things in moderation - enying yourself something leads to binging, which is a hell of a lot worse....
