Do you think it's okay to drink 1-2 cups of coffee a day while your pregnant?

Question

I recently found out I'm pregnant and I'm a big coffee drinker, so I've been researching the effects of caffeine while pregnant. I was wondering what you guys think!?

Answer

This is not something you should be asking on a forum! Look at the science. Read peer reviewed journal articles and speak with your physician.

Answer

Check the caffeine mg in a cup. Drip coffee tends to be far higher than a latte and some brands contain over 200 mg in a small cup. My doctor had recommended I stick to 150 and under.

Answer

Maybe drink 2 cups but half and half. (Half decaf and half regular)

Answer

If you want facts instead of opinions check out "Expecting Better" by Emily Oster - best fact-based book I've read this whole pregnancy.

Answer

I drank coffee during my second pregnancy, and thankfully now that I'm nursing it doesn't bother him. I didn't drink it much the first time, and while nursing her I couldn't even have a couple ounces...she would be miserable. A little usually doesn't hurt though.

Answer

Different studies show no effects up to 150-300 mg.

Answer

It is recommended to reduce your caffeine intake. Especially in the first trimester. Actually I've been told none I'm the first trimester is best. And one to two a week in The 2nd and 3rd trimesters
