I drank Red Bull a couple times around 10 weeks when I went clubbing.
Some woman had a go at me for it afterwards, I didn't realise I wasn't allowed to drink it!

The smell is just AMAZING though! I could literally sniff Red Bull all day!

x

lool!! i can picture you just sniffing a can of red bull like "nope i mustn't drink.."
OH drinks it all the time - i think he relys on it to keep him awake!! he has like 8 cans a day - which is really bad for you..
my uncle went into shock from it, and ended up with caffiene withdrawl and stuff.. and on his medical notes they put "Over Dose of Red Bull" - seemed really silly to me that you could overdose on stuff like that!

hehe, i think i might stash loads of redbull's in my hospital bagg.. soon as she's out, i'll drink them to make up for the months i've missed.. Oh said i should put a bottle of malibu in there too (he was joking before anyone has a go), to make up for 9 months with no alcohol and the beginings of 9 months with no sleep.. but they'd probably get me arrested
plus i'm not a big drinker.. but it did make me laugh!!

ahh yeah it's like at the bottomish.. and it's got a red line through a red circle.. lool!
yeahh i was waiting for her to engage, but i've given up with that now, just waiting for her to come!! haha.. i REALLY don't wanna go overrr.. lol..
ahhh i'll probably be reading yours, feeling sooo jelous.. and like getting more and more over due haha!! we might even end up swapping due dates

A mug of instant coffee has about 100mg of caffeine in it and a can of red bull has 80 mg of caffeine in it, so as long as you really limit it, like you have to with coffee then it's ok to have it every now and again. They put the warnings on the cans because most people who drink it, drink loads to get a caffeine boost which you shouldn't be aiming for if your preg, but if you're just doing it for the taste like with coffee then it's ok to have a little

Oh and the Food Standards Agency say you shouldn't have more than 200 mg of caffeine a day when pregnant so a can of red bull once a week or so really isn't gonna do any damage being only 80 mg Apparently you should avoid the sugar free one over the normal one though cos the sweetners make it twice as bad for you lol x

 

[Jadelm]

Oooo and I totally just remembered something else I was gonna say!!!
I didn't know you could just OD on Red Bull BUT I did know that if you drink lots of vodka red bulls it's REALLY bad for you, cos the caffeine is a stimulant but the alochol is a depressent and mixing the two together in a high quantity can really eff up your body and you need to get your stomach pumped!! It happened to my flat mates friend.. scared me cos I used to always drink vodka red bull but now i only have one or two if i'm on a night out (well obvs not NOW but when I'm not pregnant lol) xxx

have u seen the ones u can get in poundland?like 4 for a pound n there imitation red bulls? i feel like buyin those now what u said n sip it slowly lol

but yehh i herd the exact same about vodka n redbuls so even tho i love it i wouldnt drink it anymore ..my OH's friendt that was in uni had loads of last min coursework to do so he decided on the day before of handing in it he would sit up all night n complete it all so he got loads of redbuls in..hes mate come with vodka so he was up for hours drinking vodka redbulls..that night he had a heart attack..im not sure of the full story if ithad anything to do with the mixing of them both but he was only 19 x

 

[Jadelm]

Yeah I'm sure a heart attack is one of the things that can happen.. it's cos your mixing like two oppposite drugs basically and they just don't go together. I think they should advertise that more that it's bad cos some people go out and that's all they drink. I like it for my first couple of drinks cos the caffeine gives you a little energy buzz before the alochol sets in lol. Or at the end of the night when I'm starting to lose enthusiasm and get tired I'll have one lol.

Yeah I have seen those! Like Emerge or something. They sell it at my local supermarket and it's 33p a can I never drink proper red bull unless I've just got paid or something and I'm feeling rich hahaha. It's the same with fags I would always just buy mayfair or whatever (omg I can't even remember how much they cost anymore it's been that long lol) but if I'd just go paid I'd go all out and get Malboro Silly really cos it's like what 50p difference? xxx

oww, i dunno, my family has a history of early babies, for first babies, but i just am soo convinced she's gunna go over - and as for the midwives they're sooo crappyyy they don't check anything!!

[Jadelm]

ahh i'd probably get tipsy off the smell at the momentt!! deary meee!! haha

When my mum bought a bottle of blueberry cider the other day I really wanted to try it cos it looked yummy tasting and I had one sip and was like OMG HOW STRONG IS THAT STUFF?! And it was only like 5% hahaha mum couldn't even taste the alcohol in it but too me it was super strong lol. Was delicious though, reminded me of how blue WKD tastes but without being so sickly sweet and sugar and a little hint of cider taste. Deffo gonna be drinking some more once bubs is outta me! x

 

[rubixcyoob.]

The redbull and vodka thing does cause heart attacks because Vodka apparently slows down the heart rate and redbull is a stimulant so it speeds it up, which confuses the heart and yeah ...

I want Redbull, or Monster, or Rockstar. I might have to pop into the tescos up the road while in labour to grab some for afterwards. Plus there is a good reason behind it too, replace all the energy we've lost while in labour, so go girls! get your wings lol

hahaha!! my mum and i were in tesco's the other day, and i was like awww don't the spirits look pretty, and colourful, people were looking at me like i'd lost the plot.. hahha..
we sound like such alchy's!!
ahh deary me, i could see a newspaper picking up on this thread and a headline tomorrow
"teen-perants, can't wait to get their babies out so they can go back on the booze!" hahaha!!
i bet we sit over in the teen peranting section like, "ohh i still haven't drunk in months!"
xxxx


oh and my nice midwife said the best thing in labour is a couple of bottles of plain old water, and a big bottle of lucazade.. (to keep the energy levels up - but it hans't got caffiene in it)
xxx

 

[Jadelm]

Oh yeah I wondered if Lucozade was safe to drink much of cos my big craving is fizzy orange stuff and I do looove lucozade but I didn't know if it was safe or not? Does anyone know? Or is it like red bull etc where you really have to limit it? xxx

ive been having 3 bottles of lucozade a day.. and i was worried because it had caffeine in it, but i asked my MW and she reckons its fine.. i wudnt have anymore than 3 tho, coz it makes the baby move alot, and keeps me awake at night! X

 

[Christine1993]

I had one cocktail when i was pregnant

x

 

[Lea21]

Have had no alcahol atal but have had one ciggy every 2-3 days ish.....if needed....from 20 a day before!!

 

[totallyashley]

I never smoked before so that wasn't a problem and I haven't drunk since I found out I was pregnant. Tbh it has not been as hard as I thought it would be. Going to be quite the lightweight after Daisy is born though!

 

[bbyno1]

my midwife said lucozade was alright-she told me to drink it before my scans but id only have 1 bottle at a time just because im over paranoid about everything! lol x
