  200mg per day is considered the safe amount.

  I'm personally not drinking any because it makes my nausea worse.

  At first I was doing none because of ms. But now I can enjoy some soda (i tend to need to let it go flat a bit first though due to carbonation). I have stopped drinking coffee due it not sounding good. I used to love coffee...

  I have a cup of coffee every morning. I did with my older 2 kids as well and my Dr said there is nothing wrong with it. But I do limit it to one cup of coffee a day. I don't drink soda, so that was/is not an issue for me.

  there is caffeine in chocolate but do you think I have stopped eating chocolate? NOPE

  but as far as the pop goes, you should probably quit drinking it. It's not good for a non-pregnant person as is.  Dont drink your calories, or you will gai

  I was never a soda drinker, but significantly cutting my coffee down has been difficult.  I obviously was drinking 6-8 cups per day until I got a BFP one week after my missed AF.  The day after was miserable... I had a head ache for two days

  I would just limit your caffeine to no more than 1 cup of coffee or one can of soda or diet soda per day, that is what I did when I was pregnant.

  1 cup a day.  Sweet tea or coffee.  I was having issues with soda before I found out I am pregnant so I had already cut it out.  Trying to drink as much water as possible even though I'm not a big water drinker.

  I remember with my first son my OB told me I could have one can of coke a day max. No coffee or black teas though. It was one of my hardest habits to quit.

  I cut it.  The only real caffeine I drink is coffee which I love.  I have a hard time just drinking one cup so if I remove it completely then I'm not tempted for more.  I was able to do it when I was pregnant with my first without a problem

  If you were a regular coffee drinker before conception, it is safe to drink up to 3 6oz cups of coffee a day. As far as soda is concerned, I am not sure. I don;t drink soda because it's just plain bad for you all together. BUT I do eat cupcakes, which are

  I actually cut it out completely, but I did it while I was stimming for IVF and found I didn't miss it that much so I didn't go back once I got my BFP. And that surprised me because I love my coffee. I feel though if I go back to 1 small cup a day now

  Besides drinking it?  I limit myself to 1-1.5 cups of coffee per day.  Occasionally I'll have a diet soda in the afternoon.  On the upside, Coke Zero does contain less caffeine than Diet Coke.
