Bah drink the damn coke It's not going to hurt you or the baby to have like half a can every day or two.

Do I have to give up caffeine now that I'm pregnant?

Not necessarily. You can still enjoy your favorite caffeinated drinks as long as you don't overdo it. After years of controversy over the issue, most researchers now believe that, although caffeine does cross the placenta, moderate amounts (less than 300 milligrams a day) won't harm your baby.

That's about what you may get from just one strongly brewed 8-ounce cup of coffee. Keep in mind that the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee varies widely depending on how strong it is, and that your serving size depends on how big your mug is — a typical mug holds about 10 ounces.

Many pregnant women limit their intake even further or cut out caffeine completely. If that seems wise to you, you won't get any arguments from your midwife or doctor.

Oh i'm gonna have that coke lol. The only reason I'm extra careful is that I have high blood pressure (always not just when pregnant) so I'm always worried about the baby's blood flow. I was an iced tea junkie and i've managed to kick that habbit for the time being ^^

i drank caffiene towards the middle/end of my pregnancy drink in moderation and you'll be ok

oh and i hate bottled or canned sodas
i ONLY like fountain soda with half a cup of ice exactly

I like to put the can in the freezer and leave it in there till its slushy haha.

lol

i always tried to do that and it would be completely frozen

LOL or worse you forget totally and it blows up in the freezer /sigh.

coke in a can after being in the freezer for 30 minutes was my downfall when i was pregnant with finn. no wonder i gained so much!

i prefer coke from the drivethru wendys especially. i LOVE it when im pregnant but dont drink ne thing but water n ocasionally juice when im not

Yeah fountain coke always seems sweeter. I'll continue to have one occasionally as long as my weight doesnt get out of hand ^^

coke was the only thing that i couldnt give up while i was pregnant!!

It was hard enough givng up redbull and smoking!!

fountain coke is the best! mcdonald's has the best but we never go there so i don't get to have it.

Oh I bet, i'm so glad I don't smoke I saw how hard it was for my mom to quit. That coke should be about half frozen now lol =D

oh frozen coke!!! yummmm!!!!haha

Now i'm thinking about McDonalds coke haha, luckily we don't have one near us so I can't just go out and get it lol.
