Best source of caffeine?

Question

I am 17 weeks and exhausted. Between working full time, going to graduate school, watching my 1.5 year old and being a wife I only get about 4-5 hours of sleep. What is the best source of caffeine? I drink my daily intake of water but when I just need a pick me up should I do soda I coffee? I drink all sparingly and I know the recommended amount is up to 200 mg for pregnant women.

Answer

I didn’t drink coffee in first and second trimester but 3rd has been kicking my butt. I’m back to having a cup in the morning now, usually less than half a cup because I don’t need the full cup! If you brew coffee at home too its less caffeine than when you get it at places like Starbucks etc! I’d say coffee over soda just becuasesoda has all the sugar in it. I just put organic plain creamer in my coffee!

Answer

I would say coffee will be your best bet. Soda is super sugary so you usually would get a crash afterwards. Tea is caffeinated, but the warmth (for me) is soothing regardless of caffeine. I usually drink a cup or two of coffee with just a little creamer. Most days it does the trick. Today, not so much....lol. I think I could use an IV of caffeine this morning!

Answer

Honestly I had about one cup of coffee everyday (sometimes two) and then about 2 sodas. My guy turned out fine, none of the issues I had with pregnancy had anything to do with my caffeine intake. I ended up decreasing to only one soda, no coffee towards the end but that was because I thought the issues were from my caffeine (doc assured me they weren’t so I started drinking soda again)

Answer

I have one cup of coffee in the morning and it helps get me through work.

Answer

Depending on how you drink your coffee I think it would be the better choice because soda is full of sugar and crap. I drink soda once in a while but I prefer coffee, especially when I need a pick me up.

Answer

I’m 18 weeks and I drink coffee but I also drink a lot of water. I had one cup yesterday bc I hadn’t had any in weeks and It sufficed.

Answer

The healthiest option you listed is green tea followed by coffee.   I'd avoid soda because it's either full of sugar or a chemical sweetener neither of which is good for you.
