Can i drink lucozade while pregnant

I’m 16 weeks pregnant and haven’t drank energy drinks since finding out. But i am craving a orange lucozade so much, will i be okay to drink one? i know we’re advised against caffeinated drinks but just wondering lol

Yeah as long as it’s in moderation! I just make sure I’m under the recommended caffeine and I know I’m not diabetic so I would have 1 if I wanted one just not all the time x

You can. My sister in law had a look at how much caffeine was in them and there’s basically none compared to what you’re allowed in pregnancy so you could technically have as many as you wanted a day and you wouldn’t go over. Defo wouldn’t recommend that tho cos you’ll be on the bog pooing your life away 🤣

I lived on lucozade sport as i could keep it down post sickness and tbh I didn't think of the caffeine intake though I didn't and don't really drink caffeinated drinks any way. If you're happy to swap to lucozade over teas and coffees and reduce chocolate intake, you should be OK but that's based on my own experience and I'm not a nutrition expert.

yes, i used to drink it whilst out shopping as i’d get dizzy x

Orange has 46 mg , original has 14 mg so be careful with the orange I would only have two of them maybe three tops so you don’t go over the 200
