caffine

I am 11 weeks. My sister is getting married tomorrow and only my parents know I am expecting. After her wedding, I have to drive 11 to 12 hours to get home bc my husband has to catch a flight for work the next day, and we have 2 cars we are driving back. How much caffeine is safe for me right now?I dont want to fall asleep while driving.

Also, me staying the night and leaving the next day is not an option. We only have one GPS and cannot afford a hotel room.

b vitamins help with energy (half the ingredient in those 5 hour energy's) 

a 12 oz coke and a 12 oz cup of coffee would be fine.

One cup of coffee is definitely OK. The limit is supposed to be around 200 mg of caffeine. And a 'cup' means like you would put in your coffee mug at home, not a 16 oz cup from Starbucks! A Starbucks 16 oz has over 300 mg, so just be aware of your portion sizes.

There are caffeine calculators out there if you want to know how much caffeine your favored beverage contains.

Be careful how much you drink BC you will have to stop and pee constantly! Or that's what happens to me if I drink pop.

I was gonna say id be more worried about having to make 40 stops to go to the bathroom but maybe thats just me.lol. I didn't really worry about it my first pregnancy but after my mc i am trying to cut back on this pregnancy. Which is HARD for someone like me. lol

Good luck

Amazing that a diuretic makes you pee. Truly astonishing.
