Women can drink a cup of coffee or one soft drink a day during pregnancy and not worry that it might put them at risk of miscarriage or preterm birth, according to new guidelines released by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

I cut back to two cups of coffee a day (which is what my doc recommends).

I personally drink alot of soda, and dont change my habits during pregnancy. That being said, I also drink alot of water, so it kinda evens out in my opinion. I obviously dont drink redbull or anything like that during pregnancy, but a couple of cans of coke zero throughout the day dont bother me. Also I get bad migraines, and headaches through pregnancy and my dr aways told me a coke would help with that.

Also, a can of coke zero has only 35mg of caffiene, and that study shows that less than 200 mg is ok, so my 2-3 cans is half of what they suggest.
