Is it true it's bad to drink decaf coffee as well?

Question

I love my coffee. I limit myself to 2 cups a day when pregnant. I was going to try decaf so I could have more but I heard that that's not ok either. I've tried tea, but it's just not the same.

Answer

Any decent coffee maker will use decaf beans that have used the Swiss water method to remove the caffeine, rather than chemicals. You could try to find out online or at coffee shops, they might know. Over here in NZ we are VERY fussy about our coffee and most cafes will know exactly where the beans come from and how they have been processed. 
If you are drinking decaf instant coffee then it is likely it has gone through chemical porocess so best to avoid.

Answer

I drank coffee everyday of my first pregnancy and had no problems. I am drinking coffee everyday with this one too,1-2 cups a day. The research on coffee and problems is correlational. Often times older women drink more coffee and often older women have more complications, it's not the coffee. Drink up in moderation and don't feel bad.

Answer

I've heard decaf is bad simply because of the chemical process it goes through to get rid of the caffeine. This is my second pregnancy and I run off my two cups of coffee so I understanding wanting to have more. It also doesn't completely get rid of the caffeine. Doesn't seem worth it to me.

Answer

You can have a cup a day of regular coffee.

Answer

My doctor said I can have (and it's been in a lot of things I've read) up to 200 mg of caffeine a day-which is a medium from Dunkin Donuts but a tall (small) from Starbucks. I have decaf cause it's less to worry about going over if/when I get a chocolate craving lol I know some people say don't drink decaf but my doctor ok'ed it.
