Caffeine intake???

Question

I've been keeping track, because I have read to keep caffeine intake under 200 milligrams a day.

But the other day, my dad told me he saw an article saying that the 200 milligram research is old and that caffeine intake should be much less!

He thought he tagged me in it on Facebook, but he didn't and now he can't find it.

Does anyone know the correct information about the amounts of caffeine that are appropriate for a pregnant woman?

Answer

I had an addiction to Coca Cola with my first pregnancy and drank a few cans a day.. It had NO effect on my son.. 
My mother lived of coffee and my brothers and I turned out fine..

I'm not sure what the affects of caffeine are but it must be one of those, it could do something but not always kind of thing.. 
I'm keeping caffeine intake to a minimum this time but not because of "health risked", it's more because this time I have terrible heart burn and Coke doesn't help

Answer

Studies showed that over 200mg was potentially  harmful and under 100mg was safest. I abstained all together.

Answer

My OB just told me a couple days ago 2 cups of coffee a day is fine. Besides that, when my son was born premature, the first thing they did was put him on intravenous caffeine to give him energy to breathe 😂

Answer

I cut out all caffeine in the first trimester.  Since then I've been doing one cup of decaf coffee a day (which still has caffeine) and sometimes a Coke here or there because I love them!  My best friend drank 2-3 cups of regular coffee a day while pregnant.  Her OB said it was completely fine and her little boy is now 18 months old, happy and healthy.  I think it's all in your comfort level.

Answer

My obgyn told me no caffeine at all with all 3 of my pregnancies.

Answer

My midwife and OB told me to keep it up 140-160mg a day. I try to just limit myself to one cup of coffee a day though. But I've gone over too on some days. As long as your baby is healthy so far I wouldn't worry about and just lower your intake a little bit from now on.

Answer

I drink about 1 -2 cups of coffee a day. Doc says under 200 is fine. But a friend of mine is high risk so her doc said 0 for her. It depends on you I suppose. As long as baby is looking good and healthy dont stress. Just keep it under 200 😌

Answer

I've been having no more than  3 cups of tea. Some days 0. But other days 1-3. I'm 2 weeks (Tuesday) and everything is fine. You can get decaff if your worried xx
