Caffine (Just wondering)

ericapeter

Just wondering how many of you have still had caffine everyday since you found out you were pregnant?

With my first child I didnt want coffee or anything till almost the end of my pregnancy with this child I still have my Mocha Frapachino everyday and an ocasional soda.  I am under the 200-300 mg a day but I still feel bad

I avoided all caffeine in the first trimester.  Since about mid 2nd tri I started to allow myself a Dt. Coke per day which has approx 40 mg of caffeine.

I had none until about 2 weeks ago.  Now I have a cup of regular coffee in the morning.

I've eaten chocolate every day since I found out although I know that's not too much caffeine. 

Occasionally I get a bottled mocha frappachino from starbucks which I LOVE (or if they're out a latte) but I try not to do it more than once or twice a week. I also feel really guilty but sometimes I feel like I'll fall over if I don't get my caffeine! I just try to reason that I'm staying under the recomended amount and I'm not doing it everyday or even every week so it should be fine...

I have at least a coke everyday. I have cut coffee out completely and I can't believe I am still functioning. I need my fix of caffine or Im just nutty.

I've been drinking Diet Coke the whole time.  Not like a case a day or anything, but a couple.

I have a small cup of coffee every morning. Very rarely, I will have something else with caffeine in it as well, but I don't exceed the 300mg.  My doctor said that 2 cups of coffee/day is fine as long as it's not Starbucks.

I drink Diet Cokes regularly. I don't like coffee, so I have to have somethign to wake me up. But usually it's 2 a day.

I have had a cup of coffee every day since the end of 1st tri - when I could stomach it again. Sometimes I will have a cafinated soda instead.?

I have a craving for starbucks anything... I used to get the half caf (only 75mg in a grande) in lattes, etc. But lately since I've grown much more tired in 3rd tri have gotten the full caf (still only 150 mg)

I honestly feel much more guilty about drinking regular milk with all those god awful hormones (we only drink organic) than I do about the caffeine at Starbucks!

Not every day for me.  Just once in a while with the occasional Pepsi.  I'm not a big caffeine person... never was.

I was really good for most of my pregnancy so far, and pretty much had stuck to water. ?Water gets sooo boring though sometimes, I would drink a soda here and there just to get a fix, but I found that Diet Hansens are 0g of everything! Caffiene, Carbs, Sugar, all that stuff and they are still pretty good. ? So thats how I get my fix, I just need the flavor.

I drink some type of caffeine daily. I drink sweet tea, cokes, diet cokes...

I have upped my water intake alot! I only drink water at work and I drink atleast 7 or 8 bottles while at work. While at home, I drink another glass or two of water before the end of the night. I'll drink my coke or tea with dinner.

I don't have it everyday but I do have it when I am in the mood. I certain don't deny myself caffeine when I need it.Today I had and ice coffee.

I have caffine daily and do not feel a bit guilty about it.

I hadn't had caffine in a while, although I've been drinking it occasionally throughout this pregnancy.  DH and I were in Europe for some of it and you can't escape it... for instance in Turkey if you visit anyone in their homes they offer you cay (said chai, it's just basically a black tea with a lot of sugar).  We were also in France and you just *have* to have your after dessert coffee...SO good, but things like espresse have less caffine in them (contrary to popular belief!!).

Just yesterday I was craving a GOOD arabic/french coffee...but it was too late in the day to consider caffine....so we went out and bought some decaf maxwell house.. UGH it was NASTY...

SO this morning to handle the craving this morning I ground my own and made some STRONG flavourful coffee....and then got really jittery because I haven't had caffine in months. SIGH....

I was drinking a coke or so a day until I was placed on bed rest for high BP.

I've had caffiene my whole pregnancy....I just really limited it in the begining.  I love Ice Tea when its hot out and could drink a gallon in a day.  I've done my best to opt for decaf but I figure since tea has less caffine then coffee I'd be safe if I have regular ice tea from time to time.  I haven't had much in the way of caffinated soda or coffee though and I do miss carmel machiatos

I stick to one caffinated bev per day.  My OB okayed it.

I don't have it every day, but I do still have it every once in a while.

The only thing I drink with caffeine anymore is iced tea.  I actually have completely fallen in love with it during this pregnancy, especially since the weather has been hot.  I drink it whenever I go out to eat, and usually keep a pitcher brewed in the fridge too.
