I want some expletive caffeine!

Ugh, I am having a really rough morning... bad sleep, 3rd trimester pains kicking in, not really excited about the lunch I packed... just... blaaaahhhh. Dr said I could have one cup of something caffeinated a day, but I've still been steering clear of coffee, so if I take her up on it, it's always tea. And I didn't even remember to bring that to the office today. I miss my friggin' coffee! Sigh... just venting...

I know, I should just have a little... Damn news report a saw a couple months back scared me a bit... like the news is sooo accurate with medical stuff! I'm being stupid.

I'd waddle myself to the nearest coffee sand and get a java jolt!

Have some!  Up to 3 cups a day is fine.  At least that's the rule I live by.

I wish, but I really don't think this is true. The news study I saw said that the 300mg they used to recommend was monitered in pg ladies and caused a much larger amount of miscarriages than previously thought, meaning that amount of caffeine is actually not safe. That might have been more true for the 1st trimester, though. And like I said, I don't know how much I believe medical stuff I see on the news. Still, my Dr. said 1 cup. I can see where I'm being silly about not having that, but I think 3 is a little excessive...

Update: Coincidentally, a coworker offered to buy me a cup of coffee, and I couldn't turn her down. My mood is much improved! ))

The very nice woman who checked us out did ask me, though, whether it was ok for me to be drinking coffee. Of course. Lol!
