How many brews are too many?

[Jennifurball]

I have been pretty good so far and only had a max of 1 coffee for most of the pregnancy but recently due to awful sleep and working, I have needed more, I have had 2 coffees and a tea today and still want more.

What are the risks? I have just been told to limit to one cup but never given the reason why.

My midwife approves one small cup a day- on a couple of occasions I did two. I don't drink it every day. Not even every week.
