Drinking caffeinated drinks

Did anyone drink caffeinated drinks daily while pregnant? Just wondering because I can't seem to stop day drinking tea!

I actually stopped drinking coffee a few weeks after I got pregnant then around 16 weeks I started getting migraines daily (I have chronic migraines anyhow but take a med that greatly reduces the frequency). When nothing else worked the doctor suggested that it could be caffeine withdrawals from being a daily coffee drinker prior to getting pregnant and that I needed to drink a minimum of three cups of caffeine a day. Once I started doing that the migraine frequency dropped back to normal. Long story short If you have always drank caffeine I would be extremely careful about cutting it out completely as it could have a reverse side affect like it did for me

I drank a cup of hot tea everyday with my daughter. Now that I'm having a boy,I can't seem to stop drinking soda which I don't normally drink but I watch which ones have caffeine and if I can't resist the caffeine then I drink about half of the soda

I have a caffeine addiction and because of severe migraines I still drink a coke or 2 a day but I also upped my water intake greatly to compensate for the caffeine.

I don't drink it everyday but I do a couple times a week :) id feel too guilty drinking it every day. But you can have up to 200 mg of caffeine a day.
