Will drinking pepsi harm my baby?

Question

6 months pregnant now.

Answer 1

Drinking Pepsi should not harm your baby if you drink it in moderation. You may want to monitor the amount of caffeine and sugar (extra calories) that you are consuming while pregnant.

Here is some information about caffeine and pregnancy from the March of Dimes website:

"Most experts agree that small amounts of caffeine appear safe during pregnancy. The safety of larger amounts is controversial. Some studies suggest that high caffeine intake may increase the risk of miscarriage and of having a low-birthweight baby. However, there is no solid proof that caffeine causes these problems. Until more is known, women should limit their caffeine intake during pregnancy. Most experts believe that consuming less than about 300 mg of caffeine per day appears safe in pregnancy. A 12-ounce can of caffeinated soda contains about 37 mg."

Definitely ask your OB about it, as he or she may have a different view on this subject.

Also, make sure you are getting enough water to prevent dehydration.

Best wishes and take care!

Answer 2

Drinking too much of any caffiene drink is not good for your baby.

Also, if your urine is dark and has a strong odor, from not getting enough water or clear juices, you may develop a kidney or bladder infection.
