Caffeine consumption?

Question

What is everyone doing as far as caffiene consumption during pregnancy? I've read less than 200mg a day is ok, but I've also read any consumption increases chance of MC and can affect baby's sleeping habits after birth. My doc said a cup of coffee a day is fine which I know, but just wondering what actual preggos are doing

Answer

I've been having 1 a day but I really love coffee so I just bought decaf so I can have more 😄

Answer

I've cut coffee out completely.

Answer

Coffee makes me nauseous, so I've cut it out. Annoying as I'm so tired all the time I could really do with having at least one cup a day! If it wasn't making me feel sick I would still be drinking a cup first thing in the morning.

Answer

I quit drinking coffee in the mornings because like a lot of women, I can't deal with the smell. However, in the evenings I'll get a craving for it and will have a small cup of decaf on occasion. I do drink peppermint green tea in the morning which has a small amount of caffeine... But it helps tremendously with queasiness (most of my nausea/queasiness is in the first half of the day). I drank almost 2 cups of coffee everyday beginning in the 2nd trimester with my first child. He's 14 mos now and a perfect little boy. :)

Answer

I still drank a half a mug in the morning until I hit 7 weeks. Now I can't even stomach the smell brewing.

Answer

I have gone to decaf tea and coffee and caffeine free coke .. also avoiding herbal teas as I'm not sure about those

Answer

I stopped drinking coffee after I got my BFP. Quit soda up until morning sickness kicked in, now I have 1-2 cans of flat diet Pepsi a week. It really helps settle my stomach, and is way under the recommended amount of caffiene so I feel ok with it.

Answer

My doc said I can have 2 caffeinated beverages daily. I have switched to decaf hot tea and don't drink as much coffee and I have a can of soda occasionally but mostly is sprite.

Answer

I've been able to cut out coffee. Now I just take a sip here and there from hubby. Haven't been able to cut out soda but it's usually half a cup around lunch.

Answer

I started drinking half caff coffee and it seems to be helping.  Instead of cutting it out completely all at once, decided to try and wean myself off because of caffeine withdrawal headaches! Good luck
