Redbull 🤣

So i dont drink coffee or other caffeine at all - live on water or dilute juice usually. But i have the occasional little redbull …. Does anyone else ? My bestfriend drank big monsters through her pregnancy and baby was absolutely fine.
Whats all your opinions on this ?

i just think whats the harm if my caffine level is like 0 and its once in a while - prior to being pregnant i had atleast one big one a day🤣

I think it’s less so about caffeine in it as there’s actually more caffeine in a cup of coffee than red bull, it’s to do with the other bits in there (e.g taurine) - I am desperate for one but have resisted! I think the odd one here and there probably doesn’t make a difference?

I spoke with my midwife at the booking appointment and as I don’t drink any tea or coffee and it’s always been my thing for as long as I can remember, she said one can a day is fine (I have the Tesco sugar free equivalent) and my daughter is a happy healthy toddler now xx

this puts my mind at ease ! If i dont have one every so often i get migraines- obviously from drinking loads pre pregnancy

this is exactly why it was the first thing I asked my midwife! I get awful headaches without them! Which is bad I know but like you said in your original post, I’m good with other things like diet and only drinking water/squash throughout the day! I also breastfed for 18 months and she was absolutely fine with me drinking them too! Don’t stress and go get yourself a red bull! Xx

I have a small redbull once every 2-3 weeks 😆

You can have a redbull but stretch it out during the day and don’t make it a regular thing. The thing about energy drinks is how quick you get the caffeine

I have a red bull every other day probably, its 80/90mg of caffeine... you're allowed 200 in a day, so I see it as its in moderation, I'm not going crazy with them, but before pregnancy i was having a 4 pack of cheap ones, every other day 🤣 x
