Re: How much caffeine did you consume pre-pregancy and how much do you consume now?

I usually had 2-3 cups of tea a day and soda.

Now, I have decaf tea (usually 1 cup) and I try to drink decaf soda, like Sprite or Ginger Ale.

I occassionally have an ice tea or hot chocolate. My doctor said anything in moderation is fine..

Re: How much caffeine did you consume pre-pregancy and how much do you consume now?

I drank a LARGE cup in the morning of coffee and occasionally one in the afternoon. I had a diet soda once in a while too.

Now, I don't drink anything with caffeine - however, I certainly haven't cut out chocolate and that has caffeine. You have to have some vices!

I found it fairly easy to just quit cold turkey b/c I smoked too so I always associated my coffee with a cigarette - so I just quit cold turkey and thankfully I didn't have any bad withdrawal problems (I had already cut back smoking a good deal while TTC).

Re: How much caffeine did you consume pre-pregancy and how much do you consume now?

1. How much caffeine did you consume pre-pregancy?

One latte a day, approximately 2 Diet Cokes/day.

2. How much do you consume now?

Amost none! I know you can have up to 300mg/day, but my thought is why? I have had two lattes since I got my BFP (I'm now 17 weeks). I do drink hot chocolate though so there is some caffeine in there.

3. How did you cut back?

I just stopped when I got my BFP.
