Coffee?

Question

2nd day BFP (yay!) - still drinking one morning coffee but timidly - in fact I only had about 1/4 cup worth. Where do the coffee drinkers stand on this? I've read different things... Technically I think the march of dimes report said that 2+ cups of coffee increase miscarriage risk. Anybody feeling like they are going to try to get away with less than that?

Answer

One cup a day is fine. The idea is that you shouldn't exceed 200mg as there have been many studies to show that that amount is totally safe. 
​If you really love your coffee try doing half caffeine and half decaf. You'll get the taste without a bunch of extra caffeine. :)

Answer

I've read a lot about the increased risk for MC with caffeine in the 1st trimester, so I'm holding off for now. In 2nd-3rd trimesters they say 150-200mg a day is fine, but keeping in mind that caffeine crosses the placenta so your munchkin is getting that stimulant too. 
​
​I know myself well enough to know that by the time I'm safely into 2nd I'll have to break down every now and then (I work A LOT & right now I'm struggling!)

Answer

I'm personally not a coffee drinker, but I thought this was a great article:

Answer

I love my coffee! I switched to decaf when we first started trying, with the odd cup of caffeinated when we are not at our home. I didn't have any withdrawals which I was surprised! I heard there's still a bit of caffeine in decaf. So I think it's offset the withdrawals.

Answer

I love coffee so much but switched to high quality decaf once I found out I was pregnant. I'm 7 weeks now and the throught of coffee makes me queasy! ?
