Caffeine ?!

Question

I’m 7 weeks pregnant and I’m wondering what y’all opinions are on caffeine ? I’ve been drinking a ton of water but I had a can of root beer yesterday and I swear I instantly felt better after I drank it all lol.

Answer

Most root beers don’t have caffeine in them. While I was pregnant I got told no caffeine at all because it lowered my amniotic fluid, but I’m sure one glass a day won’t hurt. It all depends on what your doctor is ok with.

Answer

I cut out all caffeine, but if I feel like I realllly need something- I’ll make a cup of decaf and just tell myself that it’s fully caffeinated 😂

Answer

I have one instant coffee a day, having one right now my baby is fine. Although I don't reccomend this my mum drank tons of coffee while pregnant and we all turned out normal but stick within the guidelines 200mg a day

Answer

I don't remember with my first, but with my second I literally lived on dr pepper lol. It was an actual addiction and I can only drink it cold..so I started only putting 2 cans in the refrigerator each day so I wouldn't drink more than that lol. With this baby, caffeine actually made me super sick in the beginning..so I just didn't have any until well into my second trimester. I tried orange crush..got super sick. So finally around like 22 weeks I decided to make a cup of green tea..and it didn't make me sick 🙌 so now, every so often I'll have 1 cup of green tea a day (I'm a slow drinker..so most days I never even finish the cup). If it was up to ME, though, I'd have all the caffeine I'm allowed lol..this baby just has other plans.

Answer

I drink a cup - cup and a half of coffee every day and my baby is fine. Just don’t go overboard and you’ll be ok (that goes for pretty much everything in pregnancy).

Answer

I’ve switched to half caff coffee. I have about 3 per day.

Answer

I have a cup of coffee every day and a coke once a week as well.

Answer

I still drink caffeine. I did with my first pregnancy. Most doctors are fine with you having 200-300 mg per day. Always best to talk to your doctor or look through the handouts they gave you.
I’m not sure about root beer but I know a Coke has about 46 mg. It may well have been the sugar in the root beer that perked you up too though🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

None for me
