Coffee during pregnancy?

Question

Hi everybody,
I’ve read that you shouldn’t have more than 200 milligrams of caffeine per day, but is that technically even safe during pregnancy? 
I’ve also read that decaf coffee could even cause issues.
Any thoughts on this?
Thank you!

Answer

I preferred to cut it out entirely. Any risk was too much risk for me. It’s a personal decision though.

Answer

I drank caffeine all through my pregnancy 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Yes if you stay under 200-300 mg a day your good. The reason decaf is advised to be avoided as it isn't good for you...anyone but pregnant people too of course. As coffee beans naturally contain caffeine to separate out the caffeine from the bean it goes through a chemical leaching process. The chemical residue is worse for you than the actual coffee. It can also raise cholesterol as it is easier to separate out the caffeine in a high fat content bean than what is normally grown for regular coffee. So you have chemicals added, potentially.higher cholesterol and don't get the health benefits coffee can provide. Which is why people should just skip decaf in general in almost all cases. But yes caffeine in moderation is safe.

Answer

I had a 12oz cup everyday when I was pregnant with my daughter and shes 14months old and perfectly fine. I'm now 17 weeks pregnant and I still only do 12oz of coffee a day and everythings fine.

Answer

Decaf still contains some caffeine which is why you have to watch that.  There are tons of studies out there about caffeine and pregnancy.  They don’t know exactly how much causes issues for the pregnancy or what the long term effects are on a fetus (they do know it affects them short term but not how it impacts their future development).  They do know that under 200mg a day seems to be safe though.

Answer

200mg of caffeine in a day for pregnant women. Mostly meaning you could have 2 cups of coffee daily depending on the coffee

Answer

Coffee is definitely fine. I had way more then 200mg, as my dr told me it didn’t matter. It’s personal preference. They did say not to do decaf but I didn’t care cause I don’t like that anyways

Answer

I drank soda and coffee both my pregnancies lol
