interesting article. I don't drink coffeee so i am ok there, but I do drink one can of coke a day.

Thank god i have giving up drinking coffee then. A few months ago i drank between 8 to 10 cups of coffee per day, i just couldnt live without it. I drank loads of cola aswell! The thought of drinking coffee now just makes me sick.

OMG! Thanks for sharing. I just read it to my DH too and this has cemented that I will be drinking decaf going forward.

 

[Phexia]

I'm not sure I believe this.

Isn't anything too new really if you thinka bout it. The whole idea is to be as healthy as possible when carrying a child and caffiene isn't really healthy. I've lowered my in take and almost gone completely off soda but thats not just because I'm TTC. I'm also trying to stay healthy!

I always get morning sickness (all day long) so I can't even think about drinking coffee without gagging. I'm a big coffee drinker so I get massive caffeine withdrawal headaches instead, lol.

But I did ask my midwife and she always said that 1-2 cups a day was fine.

I have doubts over whether this study was done by all the scientific standards, I mean this topic must surely have been researched before?

A friend of mine got cravings for coffee while pregnant with her first child but prior to that never drank it! My friend fell pregnant very quickly and now she is about to have her second through out which she had a very healthy pregnancy ( looked radiant too!) She never got morning sickness either!!!

Go to half caf girls! I think its a godo idea to cut down if you drink a lot but soon the world will be advising us all to stop breathing ffs!

I was a coffee addict cutitng down was hard and painful headaches but then pregnancy kind of put me off anyway I will now only have 1 or 2 in morning (weak milky) and rest of the day tea (mostly) this from someone who drabk 10+ a day before cutting down in genral and cutting to half caf while TTC

I have been drinking decaf Earl Grey since October! It's not as bad as you think. The decaf coffee in Starbucks and Costa Coffee is quite nice as well.

I used to love Dr. Pepper and always swore I'd never give it up, but it makes me sick now and I've given it up completely. I guess it's just my body's way of telling me it's not healthy for the baby.

I stopped drinking coffee and soda when with my DH decided to start TTC

 

[ablaze]

i think cutting it out completely is a bit extreme!! wen i was preg all i would drink was tea, and every night id have a milky coffee, seems you cant do anything without thinking twice these days

I don't think I would have given it up completely if it didn't make me sick

 

[ablaze]

the thought of tea made me feel ill!! but i was ok drinking it!!! it was the thought of mixing water and milk together made me feel so ill

My doctor did not tell me to give it up, but she did recommend cutting back on caffeine while trying to conceive.

Does anyone know if DH is supposed to cut back on caffeine while TTC???

 

[PinkyDink]

I gave up soda for my teeth and bones almost a year ago.
I switched to decaf coffee because I hated being a slave to the addiction.
I cut coffee out completely because it's too acidic and just not good for your overall health.

When I decided to TTC my medical doctor told me to cut out caffeine completely while pregnant because it increases the risk of SIDS.
