You should not exceed 200mg of caffeine a day. A can of Coke for example only has 35 mg so you can have 2 cans and a choclate bar and be fine. Diet drinks are packed with artificial sweeteners like aspartamane. There has been so many studies on this in the past about it being bad for everyone, pariculary children and unborn babies. I remember that my dad used to actually use aspartamane to preserve maggots when he was fishing! And it has been linked to cancer forming.

I don't drink diet soda for this reason, although I'm not sure if it can cause damage to an unborn child or not. As with regular soda, it's better to cut it down to maybe one a day or even go caffeine free. Good luck!

It's not the caffeine, it's the artificial sweeteners that are the problem. However, if it's sweetened with aspartame, it doesn't cross through the placenta so it's "ok" for pregnancy. That's the only kind of soda I'm allowed now because of gestational diabetes but soda is soda so my doctor still suggests only in moderation, if at all. I don't know any definite amounts just reduce until you're off. If you don't have any problems with blood sugar, drink normal soda. Even though aspartame doesn't cross over to the baby, it's bad for YOU. Worse than regular soda sweeteners (corn syrup). Eh, if you’re going to have soda, it’s not that much “better” to do diet.

I have a page on my website which tells you how much caffeine you should have when pregnant, you are allowed a little bit. Please have a look. Hiya

The caffeine is the same in each type. As for the fake sweetener, don't know. Check with your doctor. It would probable depend on how much you drink per day. All the best(MOM).
