Can I have a venti decaf latte if pregnant?

Question

Or is it too much?

Answer

The process of decaffeinating coffee contains a lot of chemicals and it’s actually considered more dangerous than just having outright caffeine. If your body is used to it, you can have coffee. My OB (one of the best in my state) has never told me no coffee. I have had two a day in every single pregnancy since that’s what my body was used to. Three perfectly healthy and chunky babes.

Answer

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that pregnant women limit their caffeine consumption to less than 200 mg (about two, six-ounce cups) per day. 
So you could probably even have a full caffeine 16 oz latte without issue.

Answer

You can have caffeine while pregnant.

Answer

You can have 200 mg caffeine while pregnant ☺️ so doesn’t need to be decaf.

Answer

Lol nah you're good, just try to stick to one a day if you can (even though I know that's hard when we're growing people from scratch and/or raising kids). I'm not supposed to drink energy drinks (doc's orders), but I get away with it because I can drink one can of my Monster Juice, Rehab, or Ultra Zero (any flavor of any line) and at MOST only consume 160 mg of caffeine a day and there are days when I don't have one at all.

Answer

Decaf I suppose would be alright but not great.as other lady was saying decaf products aren't very healthy and a venti is a huge size. Please be careful if you do want to drink caffeine about quantity, I too, like others have said, continued to drink about two cups of real coffee per day but these are supposed to be SMALL cups. A venti is HUGE and contains 20 ounces. Two shots of espresso in a venti cappuccino would be 300 mgs of caffeine in one go. They would also likely still use the.same amount of shots in a Grande, the size below. They also did research where they tested different chains and how much caffeine was actually in the drinks and they varied greatly, i believe Starbucks was one of the highest caffeine contents. So you can't go out and buy coffee in the.high street and use it as "one cup" like you would at home.

Answer

As a barista/manager for 6 years I would say absolutely safe. I’m assuming venti as in Starbucks so that would have 2 shots which would put you at 150 full caffeine. Safe for pregnancy is considered 200. Also get almond milk if gestational diabetes is a risk/worry for you.

Answer

I pretty much drink a large McDonald’s soda everyday while pregnant. Literally crave it

Answer

I have always been a coffee lover as well as everyone in my family. But as soon as I found out I was pregnant I stopped cold turkey.  It didn’t matter if I was told it was safe to have small portions.  It can really affect the baby’s nervous system along with other risks.  It’s better to be safe than sorry.  My provider advices against it as she said there is always a risk and even if it’s small you don’t want to take chances.
