Coffee during pregnancy!!?

Question

I had a miscarriage in October and just found out I’m pregnant again. I was wondering if someone has done extensive research on coffee and whether it’s safe. I know one study states you can drink no more than 200 mg but I’ve also read there is nothing that states any amount of coffee is safe. 
Also, any thoughts on decaf? I know that still has some caffeine but I’ve read mixed reviews and that it could be worse than regular coffee because of how it’s processed. 
I’m fine with cutting out coffee all together - just wanted to get some opinions because I do love it!  
Any tasty alternatives that have no caffeine and aren’t bad for you?

Answer

From my experience with my first I didn’t know or was never told not to drink coffee and I drank it all throughout my pregnancy ..  the last year I got pregnant and had a miscarriage and I was drinking coffee .. but the miscarriage was likely caused from a chromosomal abnormality. This pregnancy I did not drink coffee in the whole first trimester. Once I hit the second I started drinking coffee but I don’t make it as strong and I drink maybe half a cup . Because I craved it so bad in the first tri.

Answer

I drank coffee every single day with all my pregnancies. I limited my caffeine intake to 200 milligrams daily. Decaf can have chemicals in it because of the way they process it and take the caffeine out. A lot of miscarriages are caused by abnormalities so I doubt a small amount of coffee/caffeine daily will cause miscarriage. Most of the studies and data I read does not suggest an increased risk of miscarriage when limiting your caffeine intake. 
Drink your coffee, hon. Congrats and good luck!

Answer

there’s nothing wrong with drinking coffee, you’re just supposed to limit your caffeine intake. it definitely can’t cause a miscarriage.

Answer

If you get decaf that is the “Swiss Water Process,” it’s absolutely safe to drink and only has 2mg or less of caffeine per cup!
McDonalds decaf is done in the Swiss Water Process and is safe!

Answer

I've had 6 consecutive losses several years after my 2 healthy pregnancies(9 & 11). Those were due to having undiagnosed hypothyroidism at the time. I stayed away from caffeine mainly coffee for the first 2 trimesters to be safe during this pregnancy. I tried it occasionally during the 2nd, but it caused too much tummy troubles. I have 1 cup a day now at 33 weeks. I'd personally hold off for now.

Answer

After doing research I decided that one cup a day of reg coffee was good for me....unless the decaffeinated version used the swiss water process but I gave up trying to find that.

Answer

I switched to decaf and drank it my whole last pregnancy and this one. No issues at all

Answer

Caffeine consumption doesn’t cause miscarriages. I drink an 8 oz cup of coffee daily or I’ll just die.
