Is it ok to drink energy drinks while pregnant(im 30 weeks) like monsters?

Question

Just wondering...I have a craving!Thanks

I didn't know they were that bad for you
=(... But ill defiently stay away from them for sure!Thanks girls.

Answer 1

no. it is not good during pregnancy. Studies show that energy drink actually speeds your heart up and make it work extra harder and for you little on heart it could do the same. make you have a heart attack or your baby. Dont drink energy drink even if it is a craving.

Answer 2

Generally, when I drink and energy drink like a monster, I tend to go back into the store for more and more until they kick me out. I'm not really sure how a monster drinks an energy drink but I think it might be like that. That's why we don't see so many monsters out in public, it seems to me. They probably hide in the bushes of the 7-11 until after hours, when they can get away with this sort of thing.

Answer 3

Very bad for you they say one is like drinking four coffees, and since four coffees is suppose to be you maximum amount in one whole day imagine the effect the caffeine would have on the baby if you just drank a can at once.

The best thing you can drink is juices high in vitamins, gatorade or powerade (These are great because they have potassium and sodium which you need whilst pregnant) and they hydrate you, and of course water. Try finsing someting else to help your craving, fizzy drinks especially once with caffeine like cocacola arn't recommended at all

Answer 4

I would not drink the typical "energy drink" that is on the market. You should talk to your doctor about anything "out of the ordinary" since you are pregnant. These energy drinks are full of sugar and caffeine which are bad for you and ESPECIALLY the baby.

There is one energy drink that is actually healthy for you. I drink one or two of them daily. It has made me feel better than I have in 10 years. Again, I would talk to your doctor FIRST before you even try this one.

Answer 5

If you just have an occasional can, and otherwise have a nutritious diet, it's a non-problem. The amount of caffeine in an 8 oz serving is about equal to a cup of coffee (if the can is more than 8 oz., I recommend sticking with only the 8 oz). Personally, I'd stick with something more nutritious, but heck, I drink coffee. The link below compares the different types of Monsters.

Answer 6

I would suggest not to!

I understand lots of time we have craving during pregnancy. Well, my opinion is if you can stay away from it, do so; if not, just take a couple bits to ease your craving and then put a stop, don't go too crazy about it.

Good luck! Remember the baby eats what you eats!

Answer 7

VERY BAD! DO NOT DRINK! Aside from those that just have sugar and caffiene to worry about some have things like gensing and other "natural" energy boosters that can be harmful to your baby.

Answer 8

I wouldn't do it. That is waaay too much caffiene and sugar to be good for you or the baby. If you are craving it that much, buy one and drink a swig or two a day - don't drink the full thing.

Answer 9

No because they contain alot of caffiene which is bad for the baby. Doctors usually say to stay away from caffiene, and if you do it should be very little amounts of it.

Answer 10

listen, i would just go for a cup of coffee with a extra teaspoon of sugar in it. nobody really knows what is in those energy drinks besides massive amounts of unhealthy sugar and caffeine, don't even risk it, they're unhealthy! :)
