Mine should really say "0.5 -2 per day", but I clicked 2. I drink a cup of half caff coffee in the morning so that I am still free to have either a soda or an iced tea later in the day if I want. A lot of days I end up not even wanting one though so I don't have very much at all. W/ DD I did the same thing during the 1st trimester, and then let myself have more of what I wanted as the 2nd tri progressed. My biggest craving was Chickfila Sweet Tea...but I didn't drink like 4 a day or anything it was still 1-2 and I drank decaf coffee in the morning w/ DD.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:26-27&33-34
I have one small 1/2 caf in the morning. One day I had a Starbucks-esque full coffee. I felt terrible afterwards (very shaky and sick to my stomach) so I'll stick to the half-caf.
I usually have a cup of hot black tea in the morning. Before I got pregnant, I drank 1-2 cups of coffee a day. But I developed a coffee aversion in the beginning weeks, so I switched to tea. Today I am trying coffee again (because it smelled really good this morning). I don't think I am going to be able to drink more than half a cup, though.

It depends. I crave soda when pregnant (plus it helps with the m/s.) So I have been trying to drink decaf coffee, so that I can have coke later in the day if needed. I try to not have more than 1-2 caffeinated beverages in a day, but if I did, I don't care.
I'm not saying I'm resolved to give it up forever (or at least the next 8 months), but for right now, I'm content just drinking non-caffeinated beverages. If I start to crave it, I'll have a little. Not a big deal in small amounts. I do have to keep an eye on how it makes me feel, though, because caffeine really jacks up my blood pressure if I'm not careful.
I kind of just guessed at 3-5 per week, because it really depends. Some days I want lots of coca cola. Today I sucked down a 22 ounce coke slurpee...no idea how much caffeine might be in that. Some days I don't want any caffeinated drinks (I don't drink coffee anyway). I just go with the flow and assume I won't go over since sodas are relatively low as compared to the 200 mg cap.
I'm not a coffee or soda drinker, but if I was I wouldn't think twice about having a drink a day. As it is, I voted 1-2 per week because I get iced tea out at restaurants.

I don't drink coffee, but i do drink soda. However with this pregnancy I've developed aversions to most sodas!!!! Even my fave, dr. pepper!!! That didn't happen with DS. So anyways, some days I'll have one, but most days i'll have a couple sips

I don't like coffee, and I hardly ever drink anything with caffeine. If I'm really craving a Coke some day, I'm sure I'll give in, but I try to avoid it anyway.
This past week I only had one cup of regular coffee. I have a feeling that I will be drinking more than that most weeks however. I have gone over a week without a Pepsi and this is a big accomplishment for me.
I am really having none but today I had a small glass of regular Coca Cola Classic because I was at a graduation party and I love it. Very very rare even when not pregnant for me to have caffeine - we don't mix.
I put ss. I have a cup of decaf, which has WAY less caffeine, but still some, every so often so I can get through migraines. If it gets to the point that the decaf isn't cutting it, I will start I have a half caff coffee if I have a migraine.

For my sweet tea addiction I've switched to decaf tea.
