Caffeine?!!

Question

7 weeks pregnant as of Sunday. And today I realize that I had some unsweetened iced tea which was black tea yesterday. I realized this while I was finishing another cup just a little while ago. I dumped it out after I realized this might be bad for the baby        Has anyone else ever drank caffeine while pregnant and were you ok. I'm scared now.

Answer

Posted this on another post someone asked about caffeine.. This is from my pack that my midwife gave me.. ​

Answer

I never cut back with my first son, but it can cause some babies to go thru withdrawal after being born. I still have a caffinated beverage once or twice a day if I feel up to it, no worries here, but always check with your dr.

Answer

I think you will be fine. According to some literature I have read, they suggest you cut back to 1 cup of coffee a day. Don't worry! What did your doc tell you?

Answer

My doctor said I could have a cup if coffee a day.

Answer

With my first I had no caffeine at all. I realize not that it was an unnessisary torture for me. With this pregnancy I have about 100 mg on the week days and none on the weekends. My dr says I can have up to 200 mgs per day and still be fine tho. Don't sweat the small stuff ?

Answer

I've read that they recommend no more than 200mg of caffeine per day. I personally am just cutting all caffeinated sodas and coffees, to be on the safe side (and to limit unnecessary weight gain), but once in a while I know I can splurge and have a small coffee if I really need it :)

Answer

He didn't really mention much at my last visit have to wait to the 18th for my prenatal vist and then I can ask the nurse all my questions.
