decafinated coffee

is it safe to drink decafinated coffee while pregnant?  also, if you had one miscarriage, does that make you more likely to have another?

Having a mc does put you at a higher risk after having one,I myself have had several.
its said to cut down caffine to a minimal when pregnancy.there are many links to low birth weights.

Guidelines issued by the Food Standards Agency recommend that pregnant women have no more than 200mg of caffeine a day (FSA n.d. a). This is equivalent to two mugs of instant coffee or four cups of tea or five cans of cola per day (FSA n.d. a).

Anyone who drinks coffee regularly knows that it can be addictive and that large amounts can also cause insomnia, nervousness, and headaches (Chawla et al 2006). It's also a diuretic, which causes your body to lose water and other fluids, all of which you need to maintain a healthy pregnancy.

~ The March of Dimes recommends that women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant consume no more than 200 milligrams (mg) of caffeine per day (equal to about one 12-ounce cup of coffee a day). ~

I think decaf coffee would be just fine. :)

I do not think the risk of a m/c goes up after just one. I had a m/c last year and am now 16 weeks along. Doctors usually won't even start testing to see if there is a problem until you have 2 or more (I believe).
