Did you quit coffee when you found out you were pregnant?

Question

Im 5 weeks and I love coffee so this is very hard. I know you can have 200mg a day of caffeine and my friend had a cup a day during her pregnancy but I feel like I could harm the baby especially during the first trimester. What about half/caf?? Help!!

Answer

I have caffeine everyday. One cup
of coffee in the morning and either one of those itty bitty sodas (Dr. Pepper) or an iced tea with lunch. Everything else is water or smoothies. The first one turned out fine and this one is right on track. Read up on the effects of caffeine and then make your decision.

Answer

I think a cup a day would be just fine. I did not give up caffeine 100% when I was pregnant.  But of course if you are concerned it's always good to ask your doctor.

Answer

Your allowed 200mg a day my sister drank coffee with all her 3 kids I'm also a coffee drinker and just cut down to that one cup a day but funny enough you might actually not enjoy it as much which is happening to me right now crazy looool now coffee for me is just a remedy when I have a headache lol

Answer

I had such an aversion to coffee in my first tri but once that passed I enjoy a cup a day. Sometimes I don't though. It's safe just don't overdo it

Answer

I've quit cafine now whilst Ttc, it's already been 9 months so I don't want to take any risks no matter how small it might be, plus I won't have to worry about quiting while I'm pregnant and I can just focus on my pregnancy.

Answer

I gave it up because I've had super bad nausea since the beginning and couldn't stand the taste. I drink a small soda every once in awhile
If I need a pick me up. There's nothing wrong with having one cup a day though

Answer

I gave it up during my first trimester. After I made it to about 20 weeks I allow myself one caffeinated beverage a day. I've come no where near the 200 mg limit!!

Answer

I'm 21 weeks & have been drinking coffee throughout my whole pregnancy. I don't drink it every day & have some how managed to naturally decrease my daily coffee intake to only a few days a week.

If I need a boost of caffeine, I do half-caf for a grande/16oz or regular for a tall/12oz (I usually order lattes or macchiatos-so lots of milk in it). MOST of the time, this one 12oz or 16oz drink is it for the day, but if I want to drink more coffee than 16oz, then I order decaf.

You don't have to quit all together-just limit your intake to that one cup or so.

Answer

I didn't quit on purpose lol I just don't like the taste of it at the moment

Answer

I switched to decaf when we started trying to conceive but ever since I got pregnant I've been sick sick sick so no desire to have any coffee. 
I occasionally drank coffee when I was pregnant with my son and never had any issues. He was born at exactly 40 weeks, 7 pounds 7 ounces and perfectly healthy :)

My doctor always says everything in moderation except medicines and smoking lol
