Hello im 9 weeks pregnant, and I want to buy me a Starbucks but I heard that during your first trimester is mot safe to take coffee, what can I do? Can someone give me advice?

Look up the website caffeine informer,  you can put in the drink and size and get a good idea the amount of caffeine.  They also have caffeine free options. Thankfully my best friend is a barista and so she makes me pregnancy safe drinks all the time :)

I used to drink coffee all day everyday . Now im down to about 1 or two cups a week since finding out im prengnant. I didn't drink it all in my first trimester. From the beginning my doc told me a cup a day was fine but I tend to be a paranoid mommy.

I drank coffee every morning up until about 2 weeks ago (I'm almost 31 weeks). The dr said it was ok as long as I wasn't drinking red bulls or downing like 4 cups a day. I also had Starbucks probably about once a week. I only stopped because I've been having trouble sleeping lately and I didn't want the caffeine to add to it. If you're craving Starbucks I say go for it!

I've had coffee every day almost of my entire pregnancy both this time and with my daughter and both kids are fine and it's espresso shots from the local coffee shop.

I would get decaf,  I am an all day/ every day coffee drinker (post pregnancy) the smell of coffee makes me crave it even more but I stay away. I do however treat myself to a dunking doughnuts decaf iced coffee or star bucks decaf machiatto at least once a week.

Thank you:)

200mg a day is usually the recommended limit for caffeine throughout your entire pregnancy

It really depends upon what you get, many Starbucks coffees have way more caffeine than you should have in a day (regardless of trimester) however if you wanted to get a fancy drink that's be fine if you stick with a small.
