Hi
Would you say it's safe to pop into starbucks once or twice a week for an espresso in the second trimester?
I avoided any caffeine the first 9 weeks, then started drinking a cup or two of hot chocolate at home. Since last week (at 14 weeks), I've given into temptation and had an 8oz mocha twice. It has only 95mg caffeine, less than the upper limit of 200mg, but I still worry.
With my first pregnancy, I didn't touch espresso all 9 months. My m/s is much worse this time around and it just perks me up momentarily. I have a sick, disgusting taste in my mouth all the time and it helps relieve that a bit.
But I drink it with a ton of guilt. Do you think it's ok? Anyone drinking starbucks in the second tri?
Thanks...
