I am NOT complaining...but i'd be lying if i said I am not going to miss pumpkin ale and pumpkin coffee and coquito on christmas. I feel like i also read last pregnancy that cider is not good for preggos but can't remember why.

I just feel like some of my biggest fall likes are things i'll have to forgo this year. I know it's all for a good reason though.

You can have pumpkin lattes! And I am sure cider is fine as long as its pasteurized.

I am not sure when you are due, but this summer was my second summer pregnant- and it stunk! Of course I am super excited for LO but 100+ degree weather and no pina coladas was no fun LOL.

oooo...I just found a recipe for "no coffee pumpkin latte" and it has great reviews!

I guess ur right...latte's have less caffiene than regular coffee since it's mostly milk and i don't drink starbucks which seems to have higher caffeine than most...ok i feel alot better now!

Re: anyone else a little bummed?

IDK, I allow myself 1 tall pumpkin latte from starbucks every friday. It's delicious Chat Icon But there are definitely ones you can make "decaf" if you are not comfortable with the caffeine level.

I'm 37 weeks and have had coffee every day this pregnancy basically. 4-5 days a week I have decaf and the others I have regular. You can have caffeine, just don't drink a bunch of cups a day.

yeah, I've had a cup of decaf...I just worry bc they advise against more than 200mg of caffeine a day and some brews have more than that in just one cup (like SB pike place)

I think a latte would be fine though. just may go get one today to quench my need for all things pumpkin and fall!

You can have brewed coffee- brew it yourself so you have a bit of control over how strong it is- you can have pasteurized cider and espresso has less caffeine then brewed coffee so lattes are OK.

You can have your coffee & drink it too. 1-2 cups a day as advised my OB, RE, and the nurses. You can always order a latte in decaf at Starbucks I believe. You can at Dunkin Donuts & they have pumpkin spice also. You ladies mentioned that latte have less caffeine because of the amt of milk so I feel like treating my self to one this week. Even if it costs me $5. Lol.
