How bad is caffiene for you? I don't drink soft drinks like coke, ocassionally I'll have a sweet tea, but I do drink an energy drink every morning before I go to work. I'm 28 weeks now and I've been drinking them 5 days a week since I found out I was pregnant. My doctor says I have a healthy baby but I'm to afraid to ask her about the energy drinks. Can someone help?

Most doctors and everything I've read say you're safe with 2 cups of coffee a day. Coffee has quite a bit of caffeine, but I don't know how that compares to whatever energy drink you're drinking. I'd actually be more concerned about what else may be in the drink because sometimes they have herbal supplements and other weird things that pregnant women are advised to stay away from. If I were you, I'd ask the doctor about it just to be safe, but I wouldn't worry so much about the caffeine.
