Aa
I NEED IT!!!
Ok, I have to have my starbucks....Would the occasional starbucks like once a month for a carmel frapp be ok, or no...opinions please..lol :)
i know how you feel....i'm a sucker for the pumpkin spice late and the carmel apple late....i've been sad i haven't had one in almost 4 weeks. it's killer. i do know having more then one cup a day is REALLY bad for the baby. it increases chance of miscarriage or something of the sort by 20% or 25%. or so i've been told. always gotta have that starbucks fix though....lol
i read that study too, it was in the nytimes...
the study was bad also because it didn't include other important factors, like ages of women, health history, whether women were smokers, etc.
like a few other women say, everything in moderation... just don't get wacky with it
this is probably the most primal time for your body, it lets you know what to do, just listen to it

Okay I exagerated a bit, but not on purpose. it was up 9 percent. Not a HUGE amount, but still enough for me to try staying away from it.
This was found in a new study..
"Of 264 women who said they had used no caffeine, 12.5 percent had miscarriages. But the miscarriage rate was 24.5 percent in the 164 women who consumed 200 milligrams or more per day."
If you notice, there are also 100 more women who did not have any caffeine, so the percentages seem like they would probably be off, in order for them to be comparable, you should be studying the same number of women, right?
So i believe that percentage is a little higher than 9 percent...

On occasion it is okay. But not every single day! Some people say that up to 300 mg of caffiene a day is safe, and I've even read this in books.. However there were very recent studies to find that the rate of miscarriage for women who had caffeine every day, was significantly greater than those who did not. [it was up something like 30%! but don't quote me on that] so it must be somewhat harmful.
However in great moderation, it is fine. :)

Well thanks Joy, I will try that then!! I still miss my starbucks!! LOL, but I will try the at home one first! Thanks guys :)
The Lattes at Dunkees they cannot though, trust me I asked!! I was sickly obsessed with them! I went right in there after I found out I was Pregnant and asked the Manager. He giggled at me and than said well we'd had to leave out the Espresso and use Decaf Coffee...but than it wouldn't be a Latte he said. I said bummer, got a decaf coffee and walked out! The main ingredient that makes a Latte is the Espresso which is loaded with caffeine. Sooo I'm inhaling them now that I'm not Preggo! Ha Ha.
They can make any coffee drink decaf. I used to work at a coffeehouse! I wasn't ever a barista (the coffee person), I was the cook, but I still had to know a little about it.
I love lattes! I make them at home. I make decaf vanilla soy iced lattes.
Fill a glass with ice.
Put some instant coffee (about a large spoonful) in about1-2 ounces of HOT water and stir to dissolve coffee.
Pour the coffee mix over the ice.
Add vanilla soy milk (or whatever flavor you like!) to the top of the ice.
That's it!!! It's so easy and so delicious! You can adjust how much coffee you want (I don't like strong coffee).

I read taking in a lot of caffeine could cause a miscarriage. Which I didn't know until I looked up caffeine stuff. But moderate amounts (less than 300 milligrams a day) won't harm your baby..
My Doc said the same thing...a cup of Caffeine a day is okay...but she said if you can stay away from it, that would be good too :)
It was weird, once I became Pregnant I didn't even want Coffee! And I'm a huge Coffee addict. But my friend drank it everyday for 9 months and her baby was perfectly healthy.
My obsession was Iced Lattes from Dunkin Donuts (which they do not have in decaf because they have tons of Espresso in them) they totally WAKE yo *** up! ha ha. I LOVE them though, I'm obsessed. I used to have two a day!! But I'm a huge believer in everything in moderation as well Chantal...so as long as you're not over do-ing it and still eating and drinking healthy (and taking your prenatals) it's all good! :)
Congrats Ladies! Cheers to healthy babies!

Oh yes ladies, they do make decaf frapps!!! I am a Starbucks junkie myself. I get really sick in early pregnancy and can't stand the thought of coffee, but later on in the pregnancy I start to drink it again. And you can get your hot or cold coffee in decaf. I have gotten my frapps decaf. My weakness is the caramel ones. YUM!! And I have always heard that 1 or 2 servings of caffine is okay anyway (per day). I also like Diet Coke and I asked my doc if I could have 1 a day and he said that was fine.
LOL, ya I really want one now to! Sorry :)
Chantal...CONGRATS!! on making it this far! your almost there!

I am going to have to see if they make decaf frapps too...that would be a great idea. Congrats jennifer on your pregnancy! =) I will be 29 weeks soon. First pregnancy to ever go this far. Cannot wait to hold my first baby!! =)
I am almost 100% sure they can do decaf!! There isn't much coffee in a frapp anyway (not saying the caffeine is good though!!)... Good luck and you make me want one right now haha!!
well thank you very very much!...ok Im not sure if they make decaf frapps, but i will try, I am 13weeks this thursday!!
My midwife told me i could have one cup of either caffine or soda a day. I hardly ever do that...i have starbucks like a couple times a month. I have a weakness for mocha frapps!! mmmm...I could go for one now. lol. Every now and then is not bad....just don't go overboard. My motto is everything in moderation. =) how far along are you?
My doc told me I could have a cup of caffine a day......so maybe.
Or try to get something decaf.
