Do you still drink coffee?

Sxia · November 2008

I actually don't drink coffee usually, but it's the only thing that unconstipates me! So, I have one cup once a week, regular.

But some people are so scared about the caffiene. Do you still drink your coffee every day? Drink it, but make it decaf? Cut it out completely?

(I don't drink soda, so don't think the occasional coffee is that bad.)

i have maybe 1-2 a day. i don't think that's excessive.

the studies are inconclusive.

Everyday, 16 oz. I don't really drink anything else all day besides water or milk, so I'm okay with it Smile

I make "half-caff" (made with half decaf and half regular) everyday...I have about two cups...Dr. says it's totally fine.

One cup of regular and about 2 or 3 cups of decaf. These are the tiny 6oz cups they have at work

I stopped drinking it (and miss it), but I don't think I could limit myself to just one cup. I drink decaf on the weekends and the occasional caffine free pop.

I didn't drink coffee to begin with, I just don't like the taste. But I always have at least 1, if not 2, cups of tes every morning. I've been having decaf during the week and sometimes I'll splurge on regular tea on the weekends. But I'll also have a soda every now and again too.

I drink diet coke everyday. Try to limit it but i need at least one a day. I am not worried about it. What I drink is well below recommended limit per day and I dont really put alot of stock into the whole aspertame argument.

I have 1 or 2 cups a day. No soda.

about 1/2 cup keeps the bowels moving

momquixote · November 2008

I have a decaf latte almost every day (my husband works at Starbucks), but they say even decaf can have some caffeine...

Every once in a while, if I have a headache, I'll get my latte half-caf. Or I'll drink a Coke. This is on my midwife's suggestion, actually, who said it's hard for the body to cut out caffeine completely when you had it before.

I have atleast one cup a day (hardly any during first tri though bc I coudn't keep anything that strong down). I drank about the same with my now almost 5 yr old son and he is completely healthy. The only funny thing I noticed is that from a very early age he has loved the smell and taste of coffee:)

DTNZ4Ever · November 2008

I have 2 cups of decaf a day. I will have occassionally have a sweet tea from McDonalds but that is maybe once every 3-4 weeks which is the only caffiene I have. One time at Dunkin Doughnuts they accidently gave me caffinated coffee and I was flying all day.

Mrs.JRF · November 2008

yes. everyday I have 1 cup in the morning (if my stomach can handle it - sometimes it makes me nauseated.) My doc recommended I continue drinking it to help relieve the headaches I was getting and it worked. (and as a bonus side: it keeps me regular too.) no worries! :-)

tmp-493670500007520 · November 2008

8oz regular coffee with skim milk (used to drink it black..and 24oz)

and a 12 oz regular coke at night... but that helps my stomach

water all day and night inbetween!

Emilyd422 · November 2008

Yes. ALthough I didn't in the 1st tri, once I hit the 2nd tri I figured it was safe and since I was so sick of being constipated, I drink it now.

michellemarie7 · November 2008

Yes, just not as often as before. I used to drink about 3-4 cups a day when B was really little, and I got no sleep.
I am at a loss why people think this is bad?? Someone inform me.

nuttybunch · November 2008

I have a routine. If I drink hot coffee, I'll get it decaf because Starbucks and Caribou can make that happen. If it's a cold/blended coffee, it's already premixed, so I'll get that sometimes. It depends on whether I want hot or cold. I don't drink pop unless I'm out to eat, which isn't often. Even then it's only root beer.

I do it that way so I can have what I want when I want without feeling bad. Then if I want 2 cups in one day, I don't have to think, "Well, I had one yesterrday. Should I or shouldn't I?"

And DH wants me to limit it just in case, so I try. Even though I'm not really worried. I'd hate to think it's ok and then have it turn out to be bad for the baby (after more research is done). So I limit but don't cut out.

mrs.wright2023 · November 2008

I drink one cup of regular everyday, but I don't drink anything else with caffeine for the rest of the day.

smcg0011 · November 2008

I drink 1 cup of regular a day..sometimes 2 if I am feeling "crazy." ?I only drank decaf during 1st trimester.?

sunshine_86 · November 2008

i don't do anything that even might be harmful. i know i'm paranoid but if i did and then anything was wrong i would never forgive myself.

BabyAlger · November 2008

1 cup a day usually. I don't drink sodas. There is no indicaton it's harmful so I feel confident with having a limited amount. I am not a morning person and with this fatigue on top of everything 1 cup keeps me sane!
