anyone else still drinking coffee?

[Equess]

I will admit...I still have my morning coffee or cup of tea sometimes in the afternoon to relax, I find its more of a comfort thing then something to keep me awake, In the past I have been such a big coffee drinker that the caffeine never had that big of an effect on me. In fact i used to drink it so much that if i didn't have at least one cup a day i would get horrible head aches I was addicted to it lol. I have gotten over that once I started ttc but every now and then I will get a head ache and as soon as i have a cup of coffee it will be gone within 10 minutes. im a horriable mommy lol i just cant cut the coffee completely out

I have been limiting myself to one to two caffine drinks a day. I usually have a cup of coffe or a diet coke in the morning and then a glass of unsweet iced tea when I get home from work. Although I haven't been to the doctor yet this time around (just got my bfp on Monday), my doctor with my first pregnancy had told me it was ok, but to try to limit it to around two caffine drinks a day. And she also reminded me that some foods also have caffine so you have to consider that as well.

I have coffee maybe two or three times a week which is a huge change from my 2 big cups a day!

I had switched to decaf before falling pregnant so don't have the dilemma.

But my doctor said it's fine to drink a cup of light coffee per day. He did advise me to avoid instant coffee, both caf and decaf.

I don't think you're a horrible mommy at all, and according to everything I've read and heard, my doc included, a cup a day is perfectly safe.

Thanks ladies makes me feel better about having a cup here and there.

I still have my cup of coffee every morning. I did the same with my previous pregnancies too. If I feel I wan another cup later in the day, then I will make decaf. I think you are fine, so no worries! H & H 9 months to you!

i have had to quit coffee, not through choice but due to me throwing up evry time i had a cup and starbucks was my fave place too

Folgers makes 1/2 Caff. It's just like it's called....1/2 the caffeine. I have been drinking this since I got my BFP. I love coffee and I just couldn't give it up completely.....so I cut back on the caffeine.

I've read that a cup a day won't harm you.

I don't really drink coffee but have had the odd cup of tea and bottle of coke. I don't think you have to completely cut it out and you’re by no means a terrible mummy. If it keeps you sane it's probably doing more good than bad. The fact that you’ve cut down so much and only have the odd one or two cups sounds fine to me

 

[Miche28]

Oh I love coffee I usually have around 6 cups a day oopps..... But iv cut down to one in the morning and one in afternoon but wish I could have more

I just wanted to say that my doctor advised me not to drink more than 20 cans of fizzy drinks throughout my pregnancy, which amounts to about 2 cans per month?

Just wanted to share this with you. But no matter what each and every one of us say here, the best person to listen to is your doctor.

I am. I HAVE to have my one cappuccino every morning. Espresso has the least caffeine of coffee based drinks so I'm not worried.

 

[blouseybrown]

One every morning I am not worth being around otherwise

You can have coffee so don't feel guilty. Definitely try to limit it to one or two cups a day but don't beat yourself up over having that coffee in the morning!

 

[marley2580]

I still drink at least 3/4 cups of tea a day.

Say what?? Is it because of caffeine? I have never heard that before.

My ms has made me go off it completley. Hoping i start liking it again and will be drinking decaf which i usually hadanyway. It tastes no diff to me. A bit of caffiene here and there won't harm

 

[pooch]

my doctor said it's ok to have 2 cups of caffeinated coffee a day.
