Caffeine

  • Caffeine is a stimulant found in many drinks such as coffee and soda.
  • Limit caffeine intake to no more than 200 milligrams per day (about 2 cups of coffee) while pregnant.
  • Found in tea, coffee, chocolate, most soft drinks (such as Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper), and energy drinks (like Red Bull). It is also found in some over-the-counter medicines (like Excedrin Migraine).
  • Drink de-caffeinated coffee and soda.
  • Drink more water, milk, and fruit juice, because these are better for you and your baby.
