caffeine

My doctor said that it is ok to drink a small cup of coffee in the morning (and not have any for the rest of the day). I was just wondering if anyone else does this?

I drink one 20 oz cherry coke every other day or every couple days. I love coffee but not as much as pop. So I sacrificed coffee to keep my pop. Lol! Like someone else said, up to 200 mg a day is fine! I personally never go past 200 mg every two days. Also didn't drink caffeine at all my first trimester for both my pregnancies! Was easy bc everything was disgusting to me then.

I used to drink almost nothing but monster and coffee before finding out i was pregnant. My doctor told me that I can have up to two 8oz cups of coffee in a day but to space them out and some teas that have small amounts of caffeine in them. Its been tough to cut back, but im down to maybe three cups of coffee a week, teas occasionally, and a couple sips of my boyfriends pop when I dont have anything open.

I drank one cup of coffee a day most of my pregnancy. Lol I was in nursing school so I needed it to survive. I have a perfectly healthy son :) I did give it up though after he was born since I was breastfeeding and didn't want to deal with a caffienated baby lol

I would follow your drs advice. I am lucky I don't like coffee so I don't have to worry about giving it up. Good luck with everything

I was religious about avoiding caffeine while pregnant with my daughter. This time I have a Dr pepper a few times a week.

I actually did a research project on this. You can drink up to 200 mg a day (2-3 cups). Careful with the sugar though lol
