I'm 36 weeks pregnant with my first child & sometimes I will have a freshly made (not powdered) Iced Tea, or a?

small glass of soda with ice, usually once every week or further apart, is this ok? Also my craving has been chocolate all the time, does chocolate have caffeine?I'm 36 weeks pregnant with my first child %26amp; sometimes I will have a freshly made (not powdered) Iced Tea, or a?
That's fine. My sisters both drank those giant thirstbusters of soda all the time and their kids came out ok. I know it's not a good idea but I think it has to be a lot in order to actually hurt the baby. Also I'm almost six months and I'll have a cup of coffee maybe once a week or once every two weeks and my dr. said thats okay too.I'm 36 weeks pregnant with my first child %26amp; sometimes I will have a freshly made (not powdered) Iced Tea, or a?
You're totatlly fine. You could be doing that every day and not hurting the baby. You have to take in a lot of caffeine for it to have any harmful affects on the baby.
It's fine...you'll be fine, the baby will be fine. You aren't overdoing it.
No problems. It is only if you are drinking lots of the freshly ground strong coffee that you are putting your baby at risk.
Oh you're fine. It's just bad to overdo it. And you're not.


Chocolate has caffeine, but you would have to eat a lot for it to be damaging.:)



A very small amount.. Really, you're doing fine. I am almost 38 weeks pregnant, and I have had a caffeinated beverage everyday this pregnancy. Not a lot! Just, some... Now, I have one cup of coffee every morning, and that's fine. Just as long as you are not going crazy with the caffeine- a small amount won't hurt. I have been told this by my OB/GYN and my maternal-fetal medicine specialist...
According to what my doctor told me, there is no harm in having one cup of coffee or tea with caffeine a day.





Chocolate does have caffeine, but for the sake of the sugar mostly I'd stay away from it.





But if that's what you're doing, I'm sure you'll be fine. Just try sticking to herbal teas (watch what's in them,) and decaf coffee and soda.
it is okay to have a little caffeine when you are pregnant. you can actually have one, small caffeinated beverage a day and it would be just fine. doctors usually advise women in who are in the first trimester to stay away from caffiene, because it has been known to cause miscarriage in the first trimester, because thats the most critical developing phase for the baby. but, you would be fine, even if you had just one small caffeinated beverage a day. its good that you are trying to be careful though. there is a small amount of caffeine in chocolate also. good luck!!
yes chocolate and tea has caffine... you can have it but limit it... I ate chocolate alot and tea all the time... and my baby would have hiccups alot....
Chocolate does have caffeine but you are fine to have a cup of tea or soda or even a peice of chocolate once in awhile. I had 1 cup of coffee a week with my son.
