Coffee??

[rolliepollie91]

Hi everyone! I am 24 weeks pregnant tomorrow with baby #3 and the sleepless nights are starting to kick in. I really want, and need some coffee but I am nervous to drink it while pregnant. I know having a little caffeine is not bad and I have a soda every now and then but I've never had caffeinated coffee during any of my pregnancies. What do y'all think?

Wow how nice! Yeah I say a cup a day should be okay, at least that's what my doctor says. Our little toddlers need their mommy's to be functioning lol :)

I've drank energy drinks throughout all my pregnancies without issue. i don't like coffee and there is less Caffeine in the energy drinks but I've always drank more than recommended.

I drink coffee daily and have both of my pregnancies now, I couldn't get by without it!

OMG, linalinko I have a 1 and 2 year old also. And my husband went to the store and got me a Starbucks. The first sip was heaven lol it should give me a good enough boost to last till nap time at least.

I'm also pregnant with my third, 28 weeks. I drank coffee throughout all of my pregnancies. I totally understand how you feel.. I wake up at 4am every night and can't fall asleep for hours. So needless to say, coffee is my saving grace right now lol especially having to chase a 1 and 2 year old lol

I think you're allowed two cups of coffee a day while pregnant :) A couple cups won't hurt you.
