Has anyone ever forgot

That you were sitting there drinking tea while you were pregnant and didn't think about the caffiene until after you drank it?  I drank 2 glasses of tea the other night and then afterwards thought, "Oh shoot!"

I've had a cold all week and one day drank 3 cups of tea - I woke up in the middle of the night and instantly thought about the caffeine

Nope, not really. I drink tea all the time. Tea has about 35 mg of caffeine. The recommended intake is 200 mg. I forget all the time I'm pregnant though.

You can safely drink caffeine while pregnant, so no I don't worry about it.  I don't drink caffeinated tea at night for sleepy reasons though.

I am not a coffee drinker, but Dr. Pepper was my coffee and weirdly since I have been pregnant I haven't wanted it or even desired it. But I also am addicted to frozen coke icees even more now that I seem to be having hot flashes all the time. But I have been regulating myself. My fiance is like whatever and thinks I am acting crazy but I wouldn't even get a frozen coke until I found the nutrition facts online to find out how much caffeine was in it. My doctor said if you go over every now and then don't worry but if it become a habit then you will need to try to avoid it at all costs. I am down to 60-70mg a day when I do consume caffeine.

I easily drink at least 2-3 coffees a day, sometimes more. I have since I was 12 and through both of my previous pgs. I only switched to decafe when it starts effecting my sleep. It's fine!

I haven't done it with caffeine but I have done it with fish. I usually don't eat fish that often but have craved it this pregnancy. I didn't realize until the other night that I had eat'n it for 4 days straight (your not suppose to have more than 2 servings in a week while preg) and I freaked out. I called my OB and thankfully they reassured baby would be fine, just lay off the fish lol.

Did this the other day with cookie dough. Oops. (Sidenote: I MISS eating cookie dough!)

You should find out if you can use egg beaters or another form of pasteurized liquid egg product. Because it's pasteurized to be in that container it should be safe if the cookie dough is kept very cold the whole process right?

Depends on the type of fish. With my sister's first pregnancy there were 3 weeks where one of the only thing she kept down was a fish fillet from McDonald's. Her Dr. encouraged her to eat as many of these as she wanted so that she could at least eat something. I think she said she at 25 of the things in a 4 week span.
