Yes. The Food Standards Agency recommends that pregnant women shouldn't take more than 200mg of caffeine a day. A can of Coca‑Cola Classic contains 32mg of caffeine and a can of Diet Coke contains 42mg.
During pregnancy, it’s really important that you stay hydrated. Here’s what you can drink instead of soda:
Plain water-
In general, it’s advised that you drink 8 to 12 cups of water per day, though the amount of water will increase each trimester as you add calories to your diet.
Be careful about drinking too many mineral waters though. They shouldn’t be consumed daily and many are high in sodium salts, which could cause swelling.
Seltzer or carbonated water-
Both are safe during pregnancy — and the bubbles might even help with nausea, especially during the first trimester.
Flavored water-
Commercially flavored waters are better than soda… though many still contain sugar, artificial sweeteners, or chemicals you probably want to cut back on.
But you can definitely create your own flavored waters by adding a slice of lemon, cucumber, ginger, or mint to a glass of water.
You can also buy a fruit infuser water bottle or pitcher and create your own berry-flavored water.
Smoothies-
Not only can smoothies be refreshing, but they can also be a good way to up your nutritional intake, especially if you make them fresh each morning.
If you add Greek yogurt, they might also help soothe heartburn symptoms.
Just keep an eye on your sugar intake.
Milk-
Milk is an excellent source of calcium and vitamins.
If you’re lactose intolerant (or vegan), you can also drink soy milk or other alternatives. It’s best if you choose ones that have added calcium if you want maximum benefits.
Some teas
Teas can be safe during pregnancy — just be sure to check the ingredients. Not all herbal teas are safe and some teas contain caffeine (so be sure to drink in moderation).
In general, though, these teas are considered safe:
*ginger tea
*lemon tea
*peppermint tea
