coffee drinkers?

Good morning mamas :-) I am 20 weeks and have not had any coffee my entire pregnancy so far but I am craving a carmel machiato from starbucks. Can we have iced coffee or is it better not too? I also have not had any soda while pregnant amd I jist want some opinions.

If I didn't start my day with a cup of coffee I wouldn't be able to take care of my 2 year old, 4 year old, and go to work. I just drink water the rest of the day. All is fine with baby #3!

I've always been a coffee drinker like an extra large ice coffee drinker lol but since I got prego I've realllllly had to limit myself bc at night if I've had one I will kick & be up all night ? Its never happened until now. I think its making the baby hyper an I feel uncomfortable from all the moving....can't say 100% tho.

I drink coffee everyday, it's totally fine. I am 38 weeks into my 3rd pregnancy and all 3 of my babies are totally healthy. You want to stay away from drinks with a ton of caffeine like energy drinks but coffee, soda, and tea are fine.

I've been drinking my normal coffee every day.  My doctor didn't think that was a problem.

I had an aversion to coffee for the first trimester, but now I like it again - so glad! I love coffee. I drink one every day or two. Espresso doesn't have that much caffeine in it (dark roasts have less) so don't worry about having a caramel macchiato.

I get iced coffee everyday! My doctor said that as long as you don't drink more caffeine than what's in a strong 8oz cup of coffee (200mg) a day than you're not at risk for anything! I drink a medium iced coffee from dunkin donuts every morning and found out they only have about 80-100mgs so if you look online to find out the amount of caffeine and its less than 200mg than its fine! Especially since you don't drink them everyday ;-)
