Answer 1

Yes you can drink the Pepsi. You need to be careful with soft drinks as they are very high in caffine and sugar. You need to especially watch the sugar intake as it can make not only you, but the baby gain weight. As long as it's in moderation, you are fine.  

Answer 2

Yes you can drink Pepsi :)

Answer 3

Pepsi is fine. You can safely have up to 300mg of caffeine per day while pregnant unless your doctor has advised otherwise. But water is important because you and your baby need to stay hydrated, so make sure you drink the water later ;)

Answer 4

Yes, I've been avoiding caffeine, but will have an occasional sip.  My doctor told me I could have one can a day if I wanted, but I just buy the non-caffeinated kind unless there is no other option.  One Pepsi will be fine.  My mom drank Diet Coke and coffee religiously with all six of us and we all turned out fine.  No miscarriages for her either.

Answer 5

Yes you can just be sure not to drink too many at a time. One or two is okay.

Answer 6

oh my - of course

Answer 7

Don't go crazy now D:...just drink the pepsi it's okay..

Answer 8

Experts and studies have stated that "moderate" levels of caffeine have not been found to have a negative effect on pregnancy. The definition of "moderate" varies anywhere from 150 mg - 300 mg a day.

How much is in your Pepsi? It might say on the can... but considering a Big Gulp (92 oz) Coke has 92 mg, you're probably okay.  

Answer 9

Some caffine is not bad. Just don't drink alot of it.

Answer 10

Unless you have gestational diabetes, of course you can have the soda!  It has less caffeine then regular coffee, and you are allowed 2-3 cups of coffee a day, the worst thing it has is sugar.

Answer 11

There is nothing wrong with drinking the Pepsi. They advise you against it, but I've been pregnant 3 times and drank Pepsi and other soft drinks religously and nothing was ever wrong with them.
