Posting anonymously bc I feel like the biggest pos alive right now. I’m 9 weeks pregnant and today I finally cracked and took 6-7 sips of my husband energy drink. I was hosting a party today for a family member and I have had no energy for 2 months now. I know energy drinks are not good at all while pregnant but could the few sips I had hurt anything? I’m so scared.

I took Pre-workout and had some energy drinks not knowing I was pregnant the first few months of my 1st babies pregnancy.. she's fine but still felt so guilty. I'm sure your baby will be fine

You should be okay. Up to 200 mg of caffeine is usually okay in pregnancy. Probably not something you want to drink on the regular, but a few sips is likely not going to hurt your baby. Don’t beat yourself up Mama. ❤️

I drank a couple of the Celsius water packets while pregnant not knowing they contained over 300mg of caffeine in them. Once I saw how much caffeine was in them things I said yeah no more of those 😅 I completely ditched energy drinks mainly because they all tasted so nasty during pregnancy so it made it easy. I still stuck with my iced coffee and sized down to a medium instead of large and would do decaf every so often throughout. My son is 16 months old now and it’s still super healthy and still so smart. 🥰 a few sips of an energy drink definitely won’t hurt anything at all🫶🏼

Absolutely no judgment a lot of people don’t know about caffeine or energy drink consumption in general. I would ask your doctor. I do know that you are allowed some caffeine everyday just not too much. I noticed that coffee made me even more sensitive so I haven’t drank any while pregnant. I opted for decaf. There’s tons of green machine smoothies that are packed with nutrients and antioxidants which will oxygenate and give you good healthy energy.

I'm 38 weeks and dying for a red bull ! 😭 i started to crack at 32 weeks and started drinking cokes. Just keep your intake in moderation and everything will be fine

You can still have caffeine, ppl drink coffee everyday. I personally love a coke and my dr even recommended it to me to help me from feeling so light headed
