Decaf coffee during pregnancy ? Yes or no?

Question

Is it ok to drink a sip or two of decaf coffee or caffeine free tea during the day while one is pregnant? I know some doctors say up to 150mg is ok but really looking to hear some good feedback! How do you deal with coffee withdrawals? Thank you!

Answer

I just have coffee. That's how I deal with them. I have one a day  or every other day if I feel like it.

Answer

I have a cup of regular coffee most days. I'm 27 weeks and my blood pressure is good, I've passed all my tests with flying colours, and baby is measuring right on schedule. There's no need to totally deprive yourself just because you're pregnant - even a lot of the things that are "no nos" in pregnancy are fine with common sense and moderation.

Answer

200mg is the safe amount which is 1 real coffee or 2 instant coffees or teas. Decafe is fine! It still contains caffeine but only a tiny amount.

Answer

The way they get the caffeine out of the beans is by soaking them in chemicals, so I steer clear of decaf. I still drink regular coffee, but I've cut down to just one in a morning, and cut back to regular strength instead of the double strength I used to drink. I'm a huge coffee lover, I enjoy every drop of my morning cup.

Answer

I cut out all caffeine in the first trimester but have been drinking one cup a day of decaf since the second trimester.

Answer

I have 1/2 -1 cup of decaf in the morning.

Answer

Yes to be honest I have my instant coffee every morning otherwise I just can't handle my one year old 😂

Answer

I see 150mg, but I just cut it out.  I did drink decaf green tea for a little while, but I was told green tea, even decaf, is a pregnancy no no (along with so many other teas I'd never have imagined).  I do miss it quite a bit, esp when hubby is sipping on my favorite highly caffeinated tea right in front of me, but guess I'll manage a few more months. I've gotten this far without it (17 weeks), I can go a while longer.  I do find days I workout, even if just 10-15 mins of cardio, I have more energy.  Maybe try a quick 10 min pregnancy workout in youtube as a pick me up instead?

Answer

You're allowed to have 200mg of caffeine a day.

Answer

I was told the same, 200mg caffeine per day. And also, decaf is worse than just having a cup of regular coffee because of the way it's processed. So just enjoy a cup of real coffee :)
