1st Trimester

is anyone drinking coffee?

I've read in multiple places that 300mg of caffiene a day is fine while pregnant.  I checked the Starbucks nutritional info and that seems to be a pretty high amount.  I have a crazy couple of weeks coming up finishing up my last month of school and am thinking I am going to need that 300mgs.  Just wondering if anyone else is drinking their coffee?

  • maybe once a week or so if I had a bad night, I'll have a small cup of coffee to get me moving :) A couple times a week I'll have a coke w/ lunch. My last pregnancy I swore off coffee/caffeine but I'm not being that neurotic this time around Wink

  • Yes, I have one caffeinated drink per day and often that is coffee.

    TMI, but I always use coffee if I need to move "things" along, bowel wise, haha. It runs right through me Smile I am convinced that coffee is why I had no issues with the first pp bowel movement, which seems to be pretty bad for a lot of people.

  • I drink a cup a day or every other and sometimes get a half caf latte from starbucks.  I don't drink soda.
  • I don't actually drink coffee. I do however drink soda and tea normally. Since my BFP I have significantly cut my caffeine intake.  I try to only have a caffienated drink every couple of days. I honestly planned to do this prior to finding out i was pregnant, but we got pregnant a lot quicker than i thought so i took this occasion as the reason to cut my caffeine.
