MemberFunny I stumbled on this post this morning as I drink my med DD coffee! lol I’m 16 wks and since I found out I was prego I cut back A LOT. But every now and then I’ll treat myself to a coke and today I am having a coffee. I haven’t had coffee in over 2 months so I Think it’s okay!
MemberI didn’t drink soda or coffee during my pregnancys, so I voted for “none” but I don’t think you’re crazy 🙂
Before my pregnancy, I drank soda and I was also a light smoker, I quit both cold turkey and didn’t have any withdrawal symptoms or anything.
These days, if I don’t have caffeine throughout each day, I’m a tired, grumpy, walking headache!
MemberI completely gave up coffee my first trimester, but had the occasional cup of weak tea or decaf coffee. That was until my morning sickness kicked in so bad I couldn’t handle anything with caffeine and the smell of coffee made me dry heave. Once I got out of the danger zone where miscarriage was a big concern, I started drinking about two cups of regular coffee a day. The research I’ve reviewed (I’m actually a researcher by profession so I totally nerded out reading tons of journal articles) says that coffee is really only a threat to normal pregnancies the first trimester. AFter that, it’s really just a problem if you have high blood pressure or something. My blood pressure is really good so I figure I’m safe now that I”m in my third trimester.
Member@macbookbee123: my doctor told me that 200mg of caffeine is absolutely fine. so, i drank coffee! of course! but now that I have issues with high blood pressure, I have had to cut it out.
