Coffee... Whats up with the caffeine? lol
So I had to stop drinking my... well..lets not say how-many-a-day cup...
And I am getting splitting migraines.
Well, DH comes home last night(He bought a pregnancy parenting magazine...hmm)
And in it says
"One cup of coffee a day while pregnant will help with constipation"
I dont have constipation, but def some caffeine withdrawl!
ANyone else read this or hear of it???

Re: Coffee... Whats up with the caffeine? lol
If you are having migraines, drink your coffee. My OB recommends it. You are allowed to have caffeine in moderation.
If you are getting migraine withdrawal headaches, I would suggest you drink the coffee and start weaning yourself a cup a day or every two days until you are down to one cup.
And if you have more than one cup a day, you will be fine. I definitely have.

Re: Coffee... Whats up with the caffeine? lol
You can have one cup (and by cup, they mean cup...not a giant mug like i used to love!) a day of regular caffeine coffee. I have been doing the decaf, but once a week I have the "1/2 Caf" stuff. A little bit of moderation is fine. Just be careful about ordering Decaf from Starbucks and Dunkin. I have heard and read some research that their decaf actually has more caffeine than some regular coffees.

Re: Coffee... Whats up with the caffeine? lol
I only drink "organic" coffee,and only use "organic" products (BUT BOY DO SOME OF THOSE LOOK GOOD)
as i have sever allergies to wheat, gluten, dairy, certain starches and sugars...
So I know the coffee wouldnt be bad btu I am so fearful of caffeine!

That is definitely true. I've ordered their decaf in the past and so has DH (He's not allowed any caffine) and had heart stutters!

Re: Coffee... Whats up with the caffeine? lol
if you have migraines, drink your one cup of coffee a day. My sister had terrible migraines, always has and her doctor told her when she got one to open a can of coke and drink it!
one cup a day is perfectly fine 
I'm actually having my tea right now with caffeine!!

Mmm...now I want tea!
You are much better off drinking your coffee than taking medication or worse, letting it get so bad that you are not eating/throwing up/dehydrated.
If you are getting migraines, it is different for you. Even then, you can have your coffee.

I thought we couldn't have green tea?? I love it, but have been staying away.
I have a cup of coffee when I need it. Sometimes one a day, sometimes one every few days. I was a COFFEE drinker, the more, the stronger- the better! I had some headaches at the beginning, but they have gone away now.

Re: Coffee... Whats up with the caffeine? lol
My pregnancy book says that 200 mg of caffeine a day is fine during pregnancy.
It's when you have 400/500+ mg of caffeine a day that you get into the risk category.
I believe 200mg of caffeine translates to 2 cups of coffee or soda a day, but double check that.
I recently checked the starbucks' website and my favorite drink (caramel frapp) only has 85mg of caffeine in the tall size. So I have had it twice since then - shoot, maybe I'll have one today too! yum!

Re: Coffee... Whats up with the caffeine? lol
I don't give up my coffee. I have one cup a day and that's fine. We drink half caff at home anyway.
I unintentionally dropped my second cup this week. If I got migraines from it I'd go right back to it but so far, so good.
I also don't drink any other caffienated beverages so that's why I feel okay with keeping my one cup a day.

Re: Coffee... Whats up with the caffeine? lol
I have one cup a day of coffee, or a tea latte if I want it. Lately I haven't wanted it so much. I was a heavy coffee drinker b4 getting pregnant. I was a Venti Quad Latte girl. Now I like to use my daily allotted caffeine for things like really dark chocolate.
