Silly question but why is it bad to drink red bull/ or any type of energy drinks while pregnant?

can increase your little ones heart rate and possible cause heart problems. is what I've heard

your kiddo will get wired

caffeine intake is way above normal especially what's normal for a pregnant women. can have defects.

It all depends on how often you drink above the recommendation. You should ask your doc to be sure. The only side effects I've read about is low birth weight and early delivery - never anything significant as defects. That said there is conflicting medical research, so I would just read up on it (Google, books, etc)

I heard too much caffeine can cause preterm labor.
