are you avoiding caffeine?

Question

have you cut caffeine completely or mostly? I heard as long as you stay below 200 mg, you're fine. I drink everyday below this limit. but it seems that some ppl make a strong attempt to completely cut it off. I'm wondering if I am missing something and if I should limit it more.

Answer

I cut caffeine completely out in my first trimester. I drink it sometimes now and my bf gives me the side eye because it was his idea to completely stop. He thinks it’ll make the baby hyper but I NEED caffeine lol. It’s two votes (me and the baby) against his so I win!

Answer

I cut caffeine completely with my first baby. And with this one, I drink at least a coke a day because I crave it like crazy. Both of my children are healthy. :)

Answer

I gave it up completely for the first trimester. that was brutal. I was an energy drink fiend, Monster, Rockstar anything to keep me feeling normal before getting pregnant. My new normal is pure exhaustion, it was okay for a while but now I let myself have a soda, usually halfway through work or when I get home.

Answer

I drank a cup of coffee every morning for 15+ years but I just haven’t wanted it since I got pregnant. Sometimes my husband’s smells so good ill have a sip and I’m still just like, nope. I also just don’t like dark sodas, prefer a 7up or sprite if I’m craving a soda. So I have no caffeine but not because I’m scared of it/been told not to.

Answer

I have one every day and my doctor said that’s totally fine. Baby is strong and healthy so he told me to keep doing what I’m doing!

Answer

I drank 1 soft drink a day which is usually around 40mg of caffeine and I had a 9lb baby. Doing the same with this one.

Answer

If I don't have a cup within the first hour or two of waking up then I end up with a massive headache that doesn't go away.

Answer
