to caffeine or not to caffeine

[kaitlyn_warren2015]

prior to finding out about my baby, I had a serious caffeine addiction. Now I'm having a hard time going without caffeine, any suggestions?

I used to drink so much coke and it took me a good month to get it to where I drink maybe one a day. Now I really love water with lemon! That's all I tend to drink. But in all honesty if you want a soda..just go ahead and have one. I think we all worry too much about what we can and cannot have. There's a lot of people who don't realize they are preggers for a long while and they had bad habits, but their babies are perfectly fine and healthy. (:

I would still drink it at first since dr said it was fine.. til i landed in l+d for dehydration and they told me no caffiene. So i do decaf cofee and sprite or gin ale. Or if u do just level it w plenty of water.

I still drink a ton of tea. You can always switch to decaffeinated tea as well

That is the best news I've gotten. I haven't seen my doctor yet, they gave me the news over the phone, and my ob paperwork isn't done yet so the info I've gotten is from my mom.

You can still have your caffine :) you can safely have 200-300 mg a day. I know a can of coke has 39mg so you could quite a few, but all that sugar wouldn't be good. Tea has around 26 mg per 8 oz cup.

My Dr. said 1 cup a day ;)

My ob said to not cut it out completely because it could put your body into shock over the withdrawals. Just limit how much.

You can safely have 200-300 mg of caffeine a day. Most pop's now list in the can or bottle their caffeine content so just keep track of how much you're having and you'll be fine. I wouldn't be able to function in the morning with my Dr Pepper boost lol.

I have one soda a day and baby girl is perfect

[kaitlyn_warren2015]

Thanks I'll try that. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I love tea and soda.

[Bee_xo]

You can have one cup of coffee day

Decaf tea, decaf coffee and root beer for soda
