think I had too much caffeine today =(

kellbranc · December 2010

I have been drinking 1/2 caff/ 1/2 decaf travel mug of coffee in the morning. I work 13 hours days and Im legit falling asleep on my patients today. I am drinking an 8 oz cup of reg coffee. Am I the devil?

No, you aren't the devil. I had 1 Starbucks a day during my pregnancy and all was well. I'd check with your Dr. for his/her suggestion, but mine said everything in moderation.

Absolutely not!! Don't worry about it that much!

Your baby is guaranteed to have 2 heads! In all seriousness though, try to relax. There are soooo many "eat this, don't eat that, avoid this at AAALLL costs" rules for pregnant women it is a wonder we're allowed to eat anything other than broccoli and spinach. I find that this being my second go around, I'm much more relaxed; not to mention that I live in Italy where they *gasp* drink wine on occasion during pregnancy! I have coffee every day, I eat lunch meat, I really really really love feta cheese, and I will continue eating these things throughout pregnancy. One day of extra caffeine is very unlikely to do any harm at all.

I think you will be fine! And as for the devil, that could be me today! I got in before my boss and started coffee, but instead of all regular I substituted 3 spoons of decaf so it was almost half-caff. Didn't tell him that! Devil

ummm not at all! I will sometimes have 2 cups of coffee. I even occasionally drink diet, oh and today, I had sushi!

I wouldn't worry too much. I don't think 1 cup is terrible.

Well said.

I'm sure you're fine! I have about 12oz of regular coffee every morning, (starbucks at that) and usually a can of diet coke with lunch.

I still have a cup of coffee in the morning. There is no way I could get up at 5 am without it. I am sure you are fine.

When I was pregnant with DS I didnt drink anything but water, seltzer water, milk and juice for the first 10 weeks, cuz anything else made me sick. After 10 weeks i was a soda drinker(mainly warm Dr. pepper, the cold stuff gave me heart burn) I was never told that caffine was horrible at that point and my son is fine. I know about caffine this time so i dont drink it like i did with DS. Orange soda(caffine free) is my new best friend. So I am sure the small amount of coffee you drank today is ok.

Good luck on your upcoming Ultrasound(if you havent already had it)
