Have your doctors given the okay to a cup of coffee per day in the first trimester?

Question

Hey everyone! We had our first ultrasound appointment yesterday and my doctor mentioned that caffeine was okay as long as you done exceed 200mg. I was just curious as to what your doctors have told you. I am kind of conflicted as I don’t want to risk anything, however I love coffee and would like an occasional cup.

Answer

My doctor said the same. You’d be surprised how much 200 mg of caffeine is. Its more than one cup of regular coffee unless you’re drinking Starbucks black hot coffee.

Answer

Honestly my entire pregnancy I’ve had like one small cup of coffee every day or every other day.

Answer

I LOVE coffee. Weve had 2 miscarriages and it is hard to not blame myself. Even though I start limiting myself after ovulation just in case. I'm currently pregnant again at 4 weeks and I am having a half caff in the morning and another at night (I love a cup of coffee after dinner/before bed) :) I am hoping this will be okay but if we have another miscarriage I am just going to give it up completely to rule it out. Good luck!

Answer

I chose not to drink anything caffeinated until I hit 12 weeks. If you feel you need the coffee for the energy then I was also told below 200mg a day is fine. If you just want it for the flavor, try decaf (that’s what I did) I couldn’t tell the difference. Good luck!
