coffee during TWW?

I know we're supposed to cut down on caffeine while TTC and during pregnancy, but is drinking decaf coffee (I buy the water-processed kind) okay? I'm pretty addicted to the whole ritual of coffee drinking and decaf tea just doesn't cut it!

In most cases, having 1-2 cups of coffee is fine. Even an occasional cup during preg. is considered safe. I just tend to limit myself to 1/day, 2 tops. But maybe I am wrong?

Its all to do with the mg of caffiene per day, taking into consuderstion chocolate aswell.. I cant remember the exact amt but if you google it probs give you details, my mw always said one rea/coffee per day & small amt of choc is ok & not alot more.. I think its because too much caffeine can bring on miscarriages & early labour if in vast quantities

200mg per day which is equivilent of 2 cups of instant coffee
