Coffee while pregnant?

Question

I haven’t seen my OB yet because I’m only 5 weeks but I’m reading conflicting things about whether I can still drink coffee. I’ve always had trouble sleeping my whole life and sad to say I rely on coffee to get me through the day. I’ve tried switching to decaf but I’m so exhausted lately. I have an hour long commute one way to and from work and am really uncomfortable with how tired I am while driving not to mention I’m falling asleep at my desk.... is it still safe to have one cup of caffeinated coffee a day? Assuming its not a cup the size of Texas

Answer

I was told 200 mg of caffeine per day per my OB. although it did make me sick the first trimester and I was SO tired!! lol. resumed drinking it around 16 weeks and have had a cup everyday since.

Answer

I stopped drinking caffeine prior to infertility treatments. It wasn’t worth it to me. I know how jittery it made me, I only imagine what it does to my baby. Personal preference.

Answer

There are different doctors with different opinions on this.  Some say it increases miscarriage risk.  Some say a certain limit per day is fine.  For me I just choose to not do any.  I also don’t do any tuna at all, because even a certain low level of “allowable” mercury per week is more than I want.  I am being overcautious, probably.  But I feel better that way.

Answer

Drink the coffee

Answer

Yes, 200mg at most a day, which I believe is closer to three cups depending on the caffeine levels in your coffee/the size of your "cup" of coffee. There's charts you can google.

Answer

200mg of caffeine is the recommended limit per day. Though some will drink more and be fine I’d stick to the limit
