Re: How Strict are you with your Caffeine intake?
I drink about two cups of half calf a day (1 travel mug size).
I dont drink soda but only because Ive never been a soda drinker.

Re: How Strict are you with your Caffeine intake?
I cut all my caffeine out in one shot....
No coffee or tea (only decaf)
Only caffeine free soda and drinks..
No chocolate....
It was easier for me to cut in one shot, then maybe have some once in a while bc i LOVE chocolate!!!

All the books / sites / doctors say that 200mg a day is the upper limit of okay. That's one or two cups of coffee (depending on size and strength) every day.
It's also 5 cans of Coke, 4 bottles of Snapple, or a few solid pounds of milk chocolate.
Girls who are feeling guilty about having a cup of soda every now and then - really, you have NOTHING to worry about, according to the medical research. You'd have to drink more than 5 cups of soda a day, every day, to go against doctor's orders.
i feel better now!  i dont go out to eat every single day so im not drinking a ton of soda, i just felt like i was going against the "rules" but like others said, moderation is key. thanks everyone!

Re: How Strict are you with your Caffeine intake?
I have been trying to steer clear of caffeine altogether, but there has been a few times of getting a venti chai

Re: How Strict are you with your Caffeine intake?
I am not too strict with it. I did switch from regular coffee to decaf, however I think I substituted the caffeine in all the chocolate I have been eating instead

Re: How Strict are you with your Caffeine intake?
I have at least 1 cup of coffee a day. With my DS I eliminated it completely, just can't do it this time.
I will have soda probably once a week. Sometimes diet, sometimes not. We don't have soda in the house so its not readily available to me.
I always say anything in moderation is fine. As long as you are still getting the appropriate amount of water to prevent dehydration, you are fine.

Re: How Strict are you with your Caffeine intake?
I went to decaf coffee when I started ttc three years ago. I just switched to decaf tea and I'm not loving it. I do drink chocolate milk every couple of days but I don't like soda so that's not a problem.

Re: How Strict are you with your Caffeine intake?
I was never a big caffeine person but would have maybe 3 cups of coffee a week if that.
Now being pregnant I couldnt stand coffee in the first trimester, the second trimester I had a few cups here and there and some soda and now in the third ive been craving it so Ive been drinking decaf coffee to satisfy my craving. If I am feeling sleepy I will have unsweetened iced tea or a Coke but usually only one glass a day.
When my mom was pregnant w me, the doctor told her no caffeine and she cut it out completely and went through really bad withdrawals. She got pregnant w my brother a year later and the doctor told her caffeine was ok. Hes fine no health problems and is 6'6 so it didnt stunt his growth either 
Anyway, everything in moderation is fine!

Same here! I usually make my second cup half caf/half decaf and I don't really finish it. So, at most, I have 1.5 small cups a day.

Re: How Strict are you with your Caffeine intake?
I've eliminated also all except for a couple sodas a week. I switched to decaf tea and coffee and I no longer drink diet soda or coke zero, but I do have a few regular colas a week. Not great but a lot better than my previous pregnancies.

Re: How Strict are you with your Caffeine intake?
I am not a coffee drinker -
but for some reason w/ this pregnancy, I want soda (which I NEVER drink) - and I don't drink diet- Gross.
So, I don't keep it in the house or get it @ work or anything - but if I'm out, or it's in my face. I'll drink it.
Other than that, I'm not a huge caffine drinker .........

before being pregnant i only drank coffee and water....very very rarely anything else (outside of alchohol that is). So i just switched to decaf coffee. I didnt find too much of a difference so it has been easy for me.
ditto. i drink a good amount of coffee still but always decaf

Re: How Strict are you with your Caffeine intake?
I am still strict, one cup of coffee or 1 can of soda a day. Some days I have more but it is rare.
Having both is ok 
But I can't wait until I can drink more without worrying!

Re: How Strict are you with your Caffeine intake?
I'm not strict at all. I don't drink a lot, so when i do, I don't limit myself.
I have a cup of tea in the morning and that's usually it. I don't drink soda, otherwise i think that might change things. can you switch to sprite?
