coffee addict

[melbra144]

I'm 21 weeks pregnant and I still drink 2 to 3 cups of coffee a day. If I don't have any coffee at all during the day I get a headache in the worst way. Do I have to quit drinking it as time goes on or just cut down. I can't imagine starting my day without at least one cup.

I use to drink coffee everyday, white coffee coconut americano. I stopped completely when I found out I was pregnant. I have a relative whom drank about 3 cups of coffee a day and she warned me of the affects it had on her daughter. I even feel guilty if I have pop so I've limited that to one every few days. And I get up at 5 in the morning everyday for work. I'd rather not risk what I have seen is possible.

Before pregnant I would have at least four double expresso daily, now just one in the morning. It was very hard the first weeks, but now I am doing just fine. There are studies relating high caffeine intake with low birth weight,  and baby anxiety,  I just rather don't risk it. My mom used to smoke when she was pregnant with me, and I was a healthy baby...i don't think anybody will agree with her knowing what we know today....same goes for caffeine...Better safe than sorry.

Try limiting to 2 cups a day also try decaf or black tea instead

You are okay to drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day, just make sure you're drinking a lot of water too. You just need to limit caffeine because of dehydration, so so long as you're not drinking like 10 lattes a day and you're also drinking water you'll be fine.

I had 3 spoons of coffee through out both of my pregnsncies... i am 35 weeks now!! No problems with any...

I drank lattes (sometimes with a shot of espresso) almost everyday when I was pregnant. My doctor said as long as you drink lots lf water it'll be fine. My baby was born perfectly fine and is very advanced for her age. I don't know anyone who's ever had a problem with their babies because they drank too much coffee while pregnant.

I drink at least one cup of coffee a day and often one soda as well, every now and again I'll have two cups if I'm really dragging my feet. Just drink LOTS of water! That's very important, the caffeine isn't as much of a worry as the dehydration is! So as long as you stay plenty hydrated you should be okay.

I drink 2 cups a day and a caffeinated soda. I have with all my babies they are perfect

Weird question but does your pee smell like coffee? If so you need to cut back and amp up your water intake. My ob told me that if I just couldn't cut back or cut it off, to add an extra glass of water for each cup to aid in flushing the caffeine.

I love coffee and it helps me poop lol

I drink lots of coffee too

[melbra144]

Thanks a lot. I also only drink regular blend k cups so that one cup is about 100 to 120mg of caffiene. Most days its only one cup, but there are days where I feel like having more cuz my son keeps me going constantly.

My cousin was exactly the same she quit cigarettes no problem but coffee was a whole other story! Ahaha 2-3 cups a day is a lot! You can continue drinking at least one cup a day no more than 200 mg :)
