Coffee?

Question

Is coffee really bad to drink during pregnancy? I never drink coffee but just randomly had two cups during brunch and realized afterwards that most websites say it should be avoided! Yikes! Will someone let me know if I should be worried? I'm 7 weeks/1 day!

Answer

I personally wouldn't worry too much since you said you're not really a coffee drinker. I would just watch out in the future if you find yourself craving coffee. I'm 5 weeks and have been craving soda and I normally don't like it but I've been getting caffeine free soda.

Answer

From my research I have read, I have found that basically you don't want to raise your blood pressure and heart rate from too much caffeine. The caffeine itself doesn't have an effect on the baby, it's the effects your body would have on the baby

Answer

200-300mg a day of caffeine or less is safe for you and the baby. That's about 1-2 cups of coffee. You're totally fine!

Answer

I switched to 1/2 caff and I have 1 cup every morning. Helps me avoid headaches from caffeine withdrawal.

Answer

My midwife said to go ahead and drink coffee. There are mixed results in the studies. Just don't drink too much (over five is what she told me). I have been drinking decaf as a substitute, just a day a week or so. I think you're good 😆

Answer

I often read that it's ok in moderation. Ask your doctor, if it worries you.

Answer

Well I also drink one cup of green tea a day so I hope that with the coffee and that combined, it wasn't too much caffeine!
