The Truth About Coke...Coca-Cola that is!

The whole time I was pregnant all I heard was do NOT ingest caffeine! The doctor my friends you name it, everyone keep saying keep away from caffeine, it will hurt your baby. And yes my caffeine intake or lack there of did hurt my baby. Hmmm...that's a little vague you say. Well let me clarify. The only way for me to keep food down was to have a couple of sips of Coke in the morning or whenever I drug myself from bed. No humor meant there either, I was one of those lucky people who throw up daily. Everyone said I glowed but it was just really a red face after visiting the closest toilet. Now, I wouldn't give up my daughter for a million dollars but I do believe that the big pharmacy companies should put more funds toward finding anti-nausea medicine for pregnant woman. Come on, everyone of us had to be born so it has got to be a booming market. Please the planet is already overpopulated and its not like we are going to stop reproducing like bunnies. I have a whole list of people that should be sterilized but that's a rant for another time! So, I do the research and find out that a small amount of caffeine is completely OK! Yes, caffeine is a drug but as long as you have under 300 mg daily it is supposedly okay. Hmmm...supposedly, yes then there's all that lovely research that says avoid caffeine at all cost. So, what's your take of the matter? To caffeine or not to caffeine?
