Caffeine in lemonade?

Hello everyone, I am 7 weeks pregnant tomorrow and have been drinking diet or slimline lemonade with cranberry juice as I found it REALLY helps with nausea and sickness. I suddenly thought, does lemonade have caffeine in it? I can't seem to find anything online despite googling and looking on the back of bottles. I've been drinking probably 1.5/2 L per day and suddenly panicked!

No, lemonade doesn't have caffeine in.

2L a day!!! That is an awful lot!

If it contains caffeine, it should be written on the label. Here is a list I found:

No, none in Fanta either so that’s my go to for a fizzy drink as I know it doesn’t have any

Yes also meant to say 2L of fizzy drink a day is a lot!! Do you drink that on top of 2L water or instead?

7 Up is basically caffeinated lemonade. Check the brand you drink.

There is no caffeine in 7 up
That's nonsense

If a product contains caffeine it will be declared on the label. Most pop does not have it in.

2L of lemonade and cranberry while the nausea is hitting and also about 3L of water. I know it's a lot but unfortunately whilst this hyperemesis is piling down on me I've got to do whatever I can that helps!

don't worry about the 2 litres of fizzy drink, just do what gets you through!

Most fizzy juice doesn't contain caffeine, pretty much just energy drinks, coke type drinks, irn bru etc

Damn, online says ZoeMaye is right about 7 Up. didn't have to be rude about it though

I have no idea why I had that wrong all these years.
I'm still going to be paranoid about hidden caffeine.
I may have mixed it up with Mountain Dew, which is 'citrus' flavour, and has caffeine. Mellow Yellow is the Coca Cola equivalent, apparently (also caffeinated).

List of sodas with caffeine in them.

Why not just mix cranberry juice with sparkling water? Sounds like basically the same thing but with no risk of caffeine. Cranberry juice is pretty much exclusively sold as a 'juice drink' and will contain extra sweetners anyway, plain cranberry juice tends to be a bit tart on it's own.

Sorry @lljkk didn't mean to come across as rude. It is nonsense though!
