Anyone else drinking coffee in first trimester?

Question

I’ve been drinking half-caff kcups and I’m only 5+3 but my sister is telling me I really shouldn’t be drinking coffee in the first trimester..I know they say you can have up to 200mg but should i not be risking it?? I feel half guilty drinking it but I feel like I’m going to die without just a little caffeine.

Answer

I did and felt guilty until my midwife said “don’t torture yourself, drink the coffee”. So if it makes you feel better-check with your provider! But I cut back.. never quit drinking it. I’m 18+2!

Answer

I’ve never been a huge coffee drinker, but I’ve been exhausted this whole pregnancy so far. So, I have a cup of day. Everyone has said 200mg, so I make sure my caffeine intake is under that. Some days if I’m extremely exhausted I got over just s little, but don’t overdo it. And it’s only if I’m falling asleep at work. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about the choices you make for you and YOUR baby. If it’s cleared by doctors snd professionals ignore everyone else.

Answer

You’re fine. I’m moving into my second trimester and have had coffee almost everyday. My Dr just told me at my 11 week scan to up it to two cups since my blood pressure is sitting low. Coffee isn’t bad just don’t drink three triple shot Carmel macchiatos from Starbucks in a day lol

Answer

Here in Europe they suggest trying to not exceed the 300 mg. So a couple of coffee a day is fine!

Answer

I used to get a medium to large Dunkin Donuts iced coffee every morning. Now I make ONE cup at home before I leave. You don't have to stop drinking coffee, just cut back. I wouldn't be able to function properly without my morning cup.

Answer

One cup a day!

Answer

Don’t feel bad! I just cut way back. Before I got pregnant I was finishing school & planning my wedding so I was usually having a cup-2 cups at home in the morning then a vanilla latte from Starbucks in the afternoon and usually another latte in the evening before class. 😅 once I found out I was pregnant I totally cut back but I didn’t know I was pregnant until my 6th week so for the first 6 weeks I was still having far more than what’s recommended for pregnant women and my little guy is doing just fine in there. Im 12 weeks now and he’s growing like a champ! I  have 1 cup at home in the morning now and that’s it.

Answer

I just cut back on what I was doing. I don't drink more than one cup a day, but most times I'll drink a half cup and be okay

Answer

I drank it with my.daughter no issies and she was and still is healthy as can be. So this time I allow myself  a cup a day. And then i dont drink anything else but water.

Answer

I had to have some caffeine to get rid of my headaches since all you can take us Tylenol and that does nothing for me (I'm an ibuprofen girl). And I now have a perfectly healthy 7 month old. Drink the coffee.
