Coffee? ??

Question

Should I give up my morning coffee?? I only have 8 ounces in the morning and then drink water all through the day. Not sure if I should just cut it completely out. Due April 9th and go in next week for my 1st appointment. This will be our rainbow baby and our first :)

Answer

I’m sure the guidance is one cup is fine... if you’re worried and can cope with decaf just switch to that... else give yourself a break and enjoy your one cup ☕️ 
I did everyone 100% by the book with my last pregnancy and it sadly ended in MC... I’m more relaxed now and don’t believe a single cup of coffee or whatever will truly harm a baby... MC can happen for a multitude of reasons, most if not all are beyond your control. 
Most importantly - enjoy your pregnancy 😘

Answer

This is a huge misconception! I switched to decaf about 3 weeks ago to be safe (I like having other versions of caffeine later in the day and thought it best to cut back regardless)  - get the book “Expecting Better” by Emily Oster. It debunks ALL the ridiculous “dont do this” myths of pregnancy, with some amazing stats to back everything up. ☕️

Answer

Thank you all for the advice. I'll definitely will be looking up that book. I'm going to enjoy this pregnancy it's just I still think about losing the last baby and I pray to God it does not happen again. I'm exercising and keeping busy to not think negative thoughts.

Answer

Up to 200mg caffeine daily is considered safe, which is he equivalent of one large cup of coffee. You could give yourself a little wiggle room but drinking darker roasts (less caffeine that lighter roasts, as the caffeine gets cooked out during the roasting) or getting lattes (less caffeine than a cup of coffee and bonus of the protein in whatever type of milk or choose).

Answer

I've just been to the doctors yesterday and seen my community Midwife as I am pregnant with my rainbow baby due 13th April. She said I should give it up and replace it with decaff coffee. So I'm doing that as don't want anything to harm my growing baby 🌈 It's your choice of course, but that's what my Midwife advised.
Congratulations by the way! Here's to a healthy nine months 🤞🏼🙏🏻🌈 Xx

Answer

You should be ok :) last three pregnancies with my kiddos I drank so much caffeine and they are fine lol I for some reason craved it lol but you should be ok just don’t have more than like two cups.

Answer

This is my third pregnancy and my OB told me that a cup of coffee a day is just fine😊 
I drank a cup a day with both of my previous pregnancies and they were full term and very healthy!

Answer

One cup won’t hurt. As long as you don’t overdue it. That’s what I’ve been reading. 😄👍 good luck at your appointment!

Answer

I gave up coffee but i truly don’t believe 1 cup will hurt the baby. That was just my personal choice. My husband has been trying to get me to quit for years so this was the perfect reason for me to do so.

Answer

I have a perfectly  healthy  11 month old, that I drank one cup of regular  coffee  a day with... if i wanted more the rest were decaf
