I have to cute cute my caffeine and can't drink the diet Dr Pepper. What are some other caffeine free drinks that taste good. I just tried A&W diet root beer. Its not bad, but I can't do that this whole pregnancy .

And yes I know I need to drink more milk and water, and I do. I also started drinking vitamin water and Gatorade. I just like to enjoy a soda once a day.

If you are pregnant, then I really would not advice you drinking caffeinated beverages or any drugs or alcohol for that matter because they 'can' cause birth defects that can either be acute or chronic, depending on the amount taken or the type of substance you take.

Throughout pregnancy, that is from conception through birth, your child or fetus actually, gets blood from you via the umbilical vien. The placenta is a tough membrane that covers, protects, and feeds your developing fetus. The exchange of blood takes place in the umbilical vein (going TO the fetus) and the umbilical arteries (FROM the fetus back to you).

Consume alcohol or too much (still not recommended), then you put your baby at risk for getting fetal alcohol syndrome (a chronic mental deficiencies). Take drugs, well your baby is still developing its organs and immune system. Any toxins or chemicals that gets inside your baby could prove to be fatal to your baby.

All I'm saying is be careful with what you consume because you have developing baby inside of you and some of the things you do can affect the overall health of your baby.
I'd advice that you take prenatal classes. It'll really help you.
