coffee????

[RavenTrinity]

I am 6 weeks along and all of my friends (who are moms) keeps telling me I should stop drinking  coffee or switch to decaf. Here's my thing though I don't drink more then 2 cups a day so is coffee that bad for the baby? I dont have my Dr appointment for another two weeks so I thought I would ask around.

As long as you balance it with the amount of water you drink then you should be ok. But on the safe side drink in moderation (1 cup/day)

Dr. gave me the ok to drink 1 cup a day. The caffeine keeps my migraines at bay since I no longer take my meds.

I've heard coffee can increase the chances of miscarriage during the first trimester. I avoided any caffeine during my first trimester but now at 35 weeks I'll have coffee a few times a week.

Read this. I'd say moderation for you would be one cup.

Its fine, as long as its in moderation! My doc told me 220 mg of caffeine a day is safe. I drank a cup almost every day during my pregnancy. I would honestly be more worried about all the chemicals they put in decaf!
