caffeine??

I'm 9 weeks today, ftm, my prenatal nurse said to limit caffeine to 6oz a day...so here's my question (its probably a stupid, obvious question)
buuut, would it be okay if I drink caffeine free pop instead of regular?? Didn't think to ask her there and don't wanna call for something petty like this, && please don't be rude :))

Okay, I usually only have pop when I eat dinner, breakfast is juice/milk and water all day, but I got caffeine free pop to replace my reg. pop..it isn't the caffeine I want as much as just a flavor of something besides water lol.
& I def thought I remember reading that you could have more than 6 oz somewhere! Lol

Yes you can. And you can have up to 200mg of caffeine a day. If you're used to drinking caffeine everyday you will have withdrawl headaches which isn't good for you or baby.

Yes you can although that is a lot of empty calories. I wouldn't do it all the time but occasionally why not?
