✮ coffee drinkers only, please! ✮
I've only had ONE cup of coffee since I found out I was pregnant, and that says A LOT for me!!
my native american (cherokee) grandma used to give me black coffee when I was little, who knows why.. doesn't matter, but I've been hooked ever since. I'd only drink maybe 16 oz. a day, IF that, whether it was freezing cold or steaming hot outside, so it wasn't an unhealthy amount or anything.
anyways!!! I had a huge craving for it today, and I had a 16 oz. cup of Starbucks House Blend (Medium).. it wasn't even a full 16 oz. cup, maybe 3/4 full, but I spoke with a friend who has a cup a day which was OK'ed by her midwives. I haven't asked my OB about it, but again.. I won't be drinking it every single day. I was just craving it today.
my question is, for my coffee drinking mommies, how often & how much coffee do you drink? I'm totally out of decaf, which won't be hard to purchase, but I use the k-cups for my Keurig.. certain brand you recommend maybe?
I just want opinions, again.. from a coffee drinker, I don't need any drama or negative comments!!! lol
I know there are some people who are TOTALLY against caffeine during pregnancy, but that's just an opinion I don't want/need to hear right now. I know my baby boy is just fine, just something that came up today!
thank you!!!! (((: ❤

I drink about one and two cups and everything is fine. I'm 34 weeks now. Sometimes I even make me a nice latte with a double shot of espresso. You will be just fine. In my culture we drink a lot of coffee and I never heard anyone having any problems because of it.
@ross1112: me too!! I'm currently using "Cold Stone - Sweet Cream" flavor!!
@coashsymons: thank you!!! my parents say it's just fine too, I know sometimes I worry over small stuff, but I just don't see the small amount that I have as being a problem at all! & you're right, a pot a day would be a different story!!! lol!! thank you again, so much!!!!! ((:

@202Tia: ahh, I love my coffee lovers!! lol thank you so much!! my parents said my grandma would feed it to me by spoon when I was just a few months old.. I would literally cry for it if I smelled it, and I'm completely healthy!! lol gosh, I love it!! I'm sure my babies will enjoy it too.. that makes me feel a lot better!!! I'll definitely enjoy a cup every now & then for sure! (((:
Don't stress. I know lots of people who didn't give up coffee and their kids are fine. I've heard everything from birth defects to babies going thru withdrawal on the internet. But personally, I know no bad stories. It's a little different if you are having a pot of coffee a day ;)
I drink one cup of coffee a day, but I drink it with those flavored creamers, if I don't have it I get a headache
& you're right, I wasn't too worried about the brand in particular, just wanted to emphasize that in case anyone happened to know the caffeine content, which I believe to be a LITTLE over 200mg.
I won't be drinking it every day, simply because even though I USED to be able to drink it when it was 100 outside, these hormones don't allow me to do that right now lol - it was just a craving today.. and I'm totally satisfied now! ((:
