Caffeine intake?

Question

How did you ladies handle your caffeine intake while pregnant? I'm newly pregnant and finding it tough to exclude caffeine completely. I don't drink much in the first place but I'm just worried it's effecting my baby negatively. While I drink water throughout the day I yearn for a can of pop (soda or whatever you may call it) when I get home from work. Occasionally I've been giving in to my one can of pop and other days I can hold off. Is this okay? How do you all feel about caffeine during pregnancy?

Answer

I drink 2-3 cokes a day. I'll let you know if my baby has a third eye.

Answer

I drank a cup of coffee every day while pregnant and my daughter turned out just fine. ☕️☕️

Answer

I'm following guidelines to limit my caffeine intake to 200mg per day.  I don't drink pop so for me that means 1 grande cappuccino (150mg).

Answer

I've been drinking lattes! A small latte has about 80mg of caffeine and it really hits the spot for me as for soda I go for the caffeine free like Sierra mist. I can't live without caffeine so I try my best to just have a small amount with lattes it's great that way I can have two if I really wanted to.

Answer

I don't think the world needs a hormonal me without my caffeine! Thankfully, I'm a tea drinker, so I have a tiny bit of wiggle room compared to coffee. But yeah, this momma needs her morning cuppa!

Answer

With my first I was like “no caffeine” wellll that last led 14 weeks and hmmm I had MAJOR migraines. Tylenol was t working then my ob suggested caffeine. Come to find out caffeine is actually safer than Tylenol. You can have up to 200mg a day... THATS A LOT! I had maybe 90 sometimes none at all. If you need it and can’t function or are having awful headaches then go for it. You’ll be fine. My baby is perfectly healthy and I️m on baby number two having my caffeine here and there!

Answer

I couldn't drink coffee for the first 13 weeks. The smell and thought of it would make me sick but I am now 17 weeks pregnant and drink 200mg every day. My doctor said 300mg is OK but I stick to 200☺️

Answer

Since I’ve been pregnant, I’ve started drinking tea. Think it’s my craving 😬 I have at least 1 cup, maybe 2 a day. I also drink some fizzy pop. I’m nearly 23 weeks & my baby is fine

Answer

I have 2 cups of coffee every morning. My OB isn't concerned. If I know I will want soda later in the day, I'll only have one cup. Soda only has about 40-60mg of caffeine, so it is still a really small amount compared to the 200mg/day deemed safe.

Answer

Just do 200 mg or less per day! You’ll find that it’s not that hard to stay within that guideline.
I am a Starbucks junkie, so I have either been doing my favorite drinks that don’t have espresso (peppermint hot chocolate + strawberry acai refresher {both have less than 50 mg up to a venti I believe}) and just drinking more water! You got this!! 🎉 one caffeinated drink won’t kill you!
