Do you ladies drink coffee while pregnant?

Question

Hi ladies,
My sister kept telling me to stop my coffee as I'm the biggest coffee snob that I litterly must have at least 1 coffee in the morning first thing when I wake up. But I normally have Turkish coffee as my husband is serbian we drink a lot of Turkish style coffee. Now she posted me that Turkish coffee has the highest caffeine and I am only 4 weeks pregnant. There it says the chances are higher of risk in miscarriages. I am now worried I've been drinking 1x a day Turkish coffee. 
How can I give up on my heavenly morning coffee. What do you ladies think? Do you still drink coffee or fully given up? Just need to know how bad is bad or is it safe.
Thank you
Erika xx

Answer

I had a miscarriage and drank caffeine without even thinking about it. I’m convinced it was caused by the caffeine I was consuming even though doctor said that’s probably not what it was. But there is research on it. My next pregnancy 6 months later I didn’t drink any caffeine until second trimester. And I limit it to 1 cup coffee a day. The first trimester I didn’t drink any caffeine then in second I started decaf, then eventually once I felt her moving began drinking regular coffee. I stick to one cup. Decaf is good too!

Answer

Ugh I hate when people tell you not to do something and they don’t know what they’re talking about. 200 mg a day is fine. They used to believe caffeine was linked to miscarriages but now they actually believe it helps with lung development and may prevent asthma.

Answer

You do not need to give up your coffee.  200mg is fine.  I’ve had coffee everyday during both pregnancies.  When in doubt ask your OB.  People get all sorts of information from others or the internet and it’s not always correct.

Answer

Drink the coffee. Baby is fine. I drink coffee most days, and I’ve definitely had most of an energy drink one day 🤷‍♀️ baby is growing perfectly

Answer

You can have 200mg of caffeine. 
I drink a grande coffee every morning . It's fine

Answer

I drank an entire can of monster energy (a shit ton more caffeine than a cup of coffee) in my first trimester and my baby is perfectly fine. 33 weeks.

Answer

Nope, I don’t do anything that presents a risk to baby. 
It’s only 9 months that I have to share this body with baby... why not do everything you can to make it the best for baby.

Answer

I gave it up after having a chemical pregnancy. Mostly, for my own peace of mind. I had horrible withdrawals when I gave it up and at sleep better so I took that as a sign that I’m sensitive to caffeine.

Answer

I really do appreciate your feedback and sharing your thoughts. I think I've decided to change to just instant coffee and try only drink 1 in the morning when I need it. Which I probably do.😂 
It seems everyone is different and some do drink it and hasn't been a problem. Others just cut back or cut it right out and all these options hasn't had any problem! Under 200mg caffeine is the main thing. Thank you ladies xx xx

Answer

I had coffee during my pregnancy.  I drank one cup of regular in the first trimester, then in the second I had one cup regular and like 4 cups of decaf. My baby was fine and now he loves coffee too 🤷🏻‍♀️
