If you do drink coffee, how much and how often?

I had a miscarriage in december, at the time I was drinking one big cup every morning. This time I cut cold turkey, but sometimes need a pick me up, how much is OK?

They say to limit caffeine,  I never really did.  I never really drank a whole lot before though.  Biut I drank a mountain dew or so.

200-300 milligrams a day is safe.
how many drinks that is depends. The type of coffee and how it's brewed affect caffeine content, same with tea

As mogpog said, my doc encouraged me not to go cold turkey. He said I should cut back to make one caffeinated drink a day, but not to cut it completely out. I've kept my servings to less than 200mg of caffeine a day (which killed some of my Starbucks drinks!) But that's OK :-)

It depends on what you are used to before. Everyone is different and handle caffein differently.

I still drink coffee and soda. Sometimes I'll even have a frap from Starbucks and my baby is perfectly fine. I'm 33 weeks.

No more than 200 mg per day.

The studies that show a correlation between caffeine and miscarriages involve a LOT of caffeine given to pregnant mice. Like 10 lattes worth at once. My doc told me that unless I am currently drinking that much everyday I don't need to cut out caffeine at all. I usually have a cup or two when I need it

I had 2 previous miscarriages. I was super cautious about everything during the first trimester. Now I'll have a venti coffee base frappuccino about once maybe twice a week and everything is good at31+ weeks.

You can drink one drink of a caffeine beverage a day. My pick is coffee :) They say a little will not hurt but it's when you drink a lot that is not safe.
