Any moms have caffeine during pregnancy(ies)?

Was your baby underweight or born early? Ive been having the occasional coffee here and there but have been getting grief from relatives about this whole thing. Just looking for honest responses , thanks :)

First two pregnancies I drank pop ALOT! Still doing it with this one! I don't like the taste of water at all! My first one was 3 days overdue and weighed 7lbs 15oz and the second came 2 weeks early weighing 7lbs 7oz. Both have been healthy kids and they are now 3 and almost 2. I drink water probably once a month when I feel overly dehydrated! I also was drinking 2-3 energy drinks a day before I found out I was pregnant so for around 4-5 weeks. So far everything seems fine with this one. Heartbeat the first ultrasound was 173 bpm and the last dr appt it was in the 160s. I can't say it's a good thing to drink it like I do, but I haven't really changed much besides not drinking energy drinks anymore.

I avoided caffeine with my first and she was only 4-11. The rest of the pregnancies I did consume but in moderation and they all were average size babies.

I had caffeine with my first and I was induced a week after my due date and he was 9 lbs 9 0z. Some is ok so don't let other people get to you. It's your baby and your body. if they don't feel that caffeine is ok they can have their own caffeine free baby. :)

A cup a day is fine, as long as your drinking plenty of water throughout the day. And eatting right. I have one cup of coffee a day and I drink water the rest of the time. Some times I'll have a little bit of soda but that's about it. My body mostly craves water. And my baby is actually in the 55% with her weight. I'm now 26wks. Everything is looking good. This is my second baby.

I drank pop non stop with my first 2 pregnancies. This one I try not to but ill have an occasional Pepsi with dinner or lunch. There was nothing wrong with either and they are great healthy kiddos! Both almost 8lb babies. I crave water with this pregnancy.

Caffeine is fine in moderation. I've had it with my first two pregnancies- 8 lbs 12 oz with one, and 8 lbs 9 oz with the second.  No issues. I'm 30+4 and baby is measuring right where she is supposed to be.
