Re: caffeine

i will have a cup of coffee here or there as a treat to myself... lately i have been obsessed with Cappuccino Blasts from Baskin Robins... so i will have that once or twice a week. Other than that, if i have a real craving, i will have decaf to satisfy the urge

Re: caffeine

when I was pregnant with my ds I gave it up completely.. Now with this pregnancy I need it to make it through the day when chasing around my ds so I have one cup in the morning. I would have a second in the afternoon also if it wouldn't keep me up all night

Re: caffeine

I had no more than one cup a day in the first trimester.

Now in the second trimester I still usually only have one cup of coffee. Sometimes I will have a coke instead. Other times I might have both, but that is rare.

Re: caffeine

Thanks ladies!!

Looks like it varies between no caffeine and one caff bev per day.

I decided that I am going to have none until I talk to my doctor and get her opinion. I am paranoid because I just want to make sure that I make it through the first trimester with no issues. I am sure any caffeine I did have with my pregnancy in May had nothing to do with my miscarriage, but I would rather be safe than sorry..

Thanks again!

Re: caffeine

My doctor said a cup of coffee a day if fine so I have been sticking to that- as long as you dont go too crazy i think its fine- also keep in mind that the sizes are large at some places and are equivalent to more than one cup- i have been sticking to smalls

Re: caffeine

I didn't want any in my first trimester, and I am a starbucks fanatic...but recently I am drinking it again.

Only one cup a day and I try to skip days when I can, but chasing after DD usually makes that tough....

Re: caffeine

I was never really a caffeine drinker to start with, no coffee or soda, so it wasn't too difficult for me to limit myself on those drinks. I do have an iced tea every once in a while to mix it up a bit, but that's about it.
