Ive found that most doctors have loosened up about these kinds of restrictions. They learned at one point that tons of alcohol and caffeine is bad, but like a small amount isnt harmful at all. In fact, they say 200mg of caffeine a day is fine. Thats a ton imo. Thats 16oz of coffee. I like my iced tea, so I usually only have about 64mg of caffeine at a time...and not even daily. Maybe a few times a week as a treat. I crave coke so sometimes a can of that is my special Saturday night treat. But yea, same with alcohol (which I dont drink even when not pregnant), a small amount wont harm the baby, so a glass of wine on your birthday or anoversary or champagne on New Years Eve isnt gonna be a big deal. *shrug* to me its just about moderation and being smart. Like, Im not gonna eat unpasteurized cheese thats been sitting in the sun for an hour.
