I was told I could drink a cup of coffee a day but I have been craving iced tea like CRAZY! I haven't given in but curious about all of you other mamas. Did you drink iced tea? Is iced tea worse or better than coffee. Same?

Question

Answer

You can have up to200mgs of caffeine a day. Just find out the caffeine content of your tea and you can drink it within that limitation =]

Answer

I buy decaf on my coffee and my tea, but just remember you're only suppose to have 200mg of caffeine a day which is quit a bit but your decaf still have caffeine it's just a very low ammount. I drink soda too...being a first time mom I was like what! Coffee, tea, soda isn't good oh no, but my friends said they drank all three so I said the hell with it I will drink some if I please and my baby girl is fine.

Answer

Tea typically has less caffeine content than coffee. I drink tea and coffee. I started out drinking only decaf and then researched the process of how they make decaf. Many are made using formaldehyde and other harmful chemicals. No thanks! So I stick to less than the 200mg/day. It's all just a personal choice.

Answer

I just drink however much tea I want. I drink way more water than anything but if I'm feeling tea you can bet I'm gonna have some. Call me crazy but I swear the only thing my mom drank with all of her children was mtn dew or coke.

Answer

My doc just said no more than 12oz per day of any caffeinated beverage. So I'll just only have one or the other.

Answer

Okay here's the thing, I've read alot about caffeine and in my pregnancy books it says that caffeine is damaging to the DNA of a baby no matter the amount
 With that said I'm not sure why they say 200mg a day is ok, to me that's kind of like saying 1 cigarette a day is ok.... 
I honestly wouldn't drink any myself because I am sensitive to caffeine, it makes my heart go crazy, so I can only image how it effects baby's heart.

Answer

Caffeine isn't harmful to babies at all. They actually use caffeine to treat preemie babies because it helps remind them to breathe.

Answer

You can also make iced tea or buy it decaffeinated.  I have been craving it as it's gotten hotter so decaf is what I've had. I can't even tell the difference.

Answer

Thank you ladies! I really appreciate it! :)

Caffeine doesn't really affect me much but I have  stayed away from coffee, tea and chocolate(12mg per bar of caffeine)  the whole pregnancy but mostly because I had morning sickness for 10 weeks. Even decaf has small amounts of caffeine.   This is my first pregnancy craving....wish I had asked in the AM as it is now 11pm and cant have any now. -crying face-

Answer

200mg is A-okay 👌 enjoy your coffee and tea!! ❤️😍☕️
