Does anybody drink coffee??? I have not been drinking any but I'm struggling! I work night shift so I get really tired!

Yes, I have one cup a day, and one Diet Coke. That's what I did for both of my previous pregnancies and my doc said that was fine.

Thanks! I feel like I eat all night to stay awake! Maybe I will try a small cup like half way through!

I do... I try to stick to one cup a day. My midwife was also okay with all the green tea I wanted to drink, which made a good alternative last pregnancy, but I'm not really sure if it was more caffeine than I should have had.

Yes. Two cups a day. I did the same with all of my pregnancies.

I have one small cup every morning and sometimes one in the afternoon. If I need a pick up I drink herbal peppermint tea, no caffeine but quite refreshing.

I drink one 16oz dunkin donuts coffee in the morning.  They put so much cream in that thing I think I really only get 14 oz of coffee anyway :P

I drink one cup of coffee in the morning and then I will have a glass/can of soda either with lunch or dinner. The rest of the day it is water and juice. My doc said its fine in moderation.

My doctor said one cup a day is fine. I drink a cup at work if I had trouble sleeping the night before (which is often).

I was told 200 mg of caffeine/day is fine.

I had a cup of coffee every morning and my OB was totally fine with that.

Yes. One cup in the morning, and I will have another with tylenol if I get a headache, because tylenol alone does nothing for me. One thing I am looking forward to doing when I am done having/nursing babies? Going back to my beloved Excedrine migraine!!!

I have one can of Coke in the AM and the day is water. My doc says up to 200, but drink as little as you can. LOL He gets I need my Coke!

 Going back to my beloved Excedrine migraine!!!

 

Amen!!!! That actually was my first question when I saw the doctor: "can I have excedrin for migraines?"

I do on occasion, but not everyday. Even at that up to 200 mg or even 300 is said to be fine. A cup of coffee usually has around 80mg...depending on how you make it or where you buy it. Sometimes if I feel l like I need a little I'll have a can of coke an
