What do you think about drinking caffeine during pregnancy?
I used to have an application on my iPhone (before I switched to the Droid) to
a pregnancy board. I noticed that many people seemed a little fanatical about
not drinking any caffeine at all during their pregnancies while others are more
lax. I would fall into the more lax category. I don’t drink coffee but I do
partake in diet Pepsi daily (since I am addicted). My doctor said two a day was
perfectly fine so I stick to her recommendation.
I drank diet soda the entire time I was pregnant with my
first son and he is actually quite bright and in perfect health. I do
understand that soda is not healthy at all but I do not drink anything except
diet Pepsi and water so that is my justification. I think the key is everything
in moderation. Do you have a different perspective?
