Some "experts" will tell you 150mg of caffeine is too much, while other "experts'" will say 300mg is too much, depending on which experts you ask. (No-Doz has 200mg per tab)

It is highly recommended that caffeine, if used at all during pregnancy is used in very small quantities. Avoiding caffeine as much as possible is your safest choice. Studies on the effect of caffeine in human pregnancies are inconclusive, because scientists can't load a pregnant woman full of caffeine and record what happens.

This is what is known:

Caffeine is a stimulant. It will cause a rise in pulse and blood pressure.

Caffeine is also a diuretic, it increases the frequency of urination and can cause you to become dehydrated.

Caffeine crosses the placenta to your baby. Your baby's metabolism is still maturing and cannot fully metabolize the caffeine. The less caffeine you consume, the better.

Numerous studies on animals have shown that caffeine can cause birth defects, preterm delivery and increase the risk of low-birth weight offspring.

I would suggest you talk to your OB doctor and decide what is the healthiest choice for you and your baby.
