Coffee?

ginalisa28 · July 2014

Wondering who indulges in regular coffee or decaf or decided to skip it all together while pregnant? I drank only decaf with my first pregnancy but this pregnancy crave a little caffeine to get going in my second trimester. But mix half decaf and half regular one cup a day.

I drink 1-2 cups of regular a day x 3 pregnancies.

1 cup of coffee every morning. I so look forward to it every day!

With DD #1 I drank a cup of regular a day. With this one I'm drinking mostly decaf but will indulge in a half caff about twice a week.

One cup a day Monday-Friday

I stopped coffee about 1 year ago. I drink tea occasionally and probably have had a total of 6 cans of soda so far during the pregnancy.

Thanks for the response. Just wondering about baby cause I was so nervous with my first I did everything by the book, now I am much more lax in my second pregnancy. Is there a reason u stopped drinking full caff this time around ?

Reassuring to hear a lot of mommies doing the same.

I had regular coffee every day with DS and he was a nice 8 pound baby. I'm having regular coffee daily now, too. I think there's the 200mg allowance, but my doctor said that if you feel jittery, you've had too much.

Luckily, the smell and taste of coffee makes me absolutely nauseous ever since 1st trimester and it's carried on well into the 2nd (I'm 18 weeks), but I'd say having a 1/2 decaf cup 2 or 3 times a week should be fine. Maybe switching it up with Tea, which has much less Caffeine, on the other days?

Q. What is the most common pregnancy craving?

A. For men to be the ones who get pregnant.

If you had some caffeine you might not be as cranky.

leoandethansmom · July 2014

I was by the book with my first and too paranoid to drink any caffeine. This time around, I am at least one cup of coffee a day, sometimes two. Some days I'll drink decaf but I've also had some coke this time around as well, apparently it's one of my cravings. So far, no issues here.

I cut myself off from caffeine once we started TTC. My family has fertility issues to begin with so I figured I should try to be as healthy as possible to increase our chances. Now that I'm pregnant I figure I should just continue on with no caffeine since it's probably healthier for me in the long run.

I love coffee! I do half caf, not for pregnancy but it triggers my anxiety. I can't imagine giving it up altogether!

Ugh I just realized who OP was. I'd like to rescind my polite response and tell her where to put a mug full of hot coffee.

Right?! I was going to respond about why I switched to half caff, but now maybe a little caffiene would help her open her mind, get the smart juices flowing.

Wow... so we will bring this over to here so that the OP can have her thread back just like you asked.

There's a huge difference between having an opinion and dickishly ignoring a factual statement. My opinion is that you have behaved ignorantly today resulting in you posting offensive things in an ignorant manner. Denying that a fact is a fact does not make it less of a fact.

RayRay007 · July 2014

I have one cup a day, sometimes two.

Cheekers2010 · July 2014

I'm half caf half decaf 1-2 cups only in the am. And, the only reason I'm not drinking full caffeine is because I can't sleep if I have it. I don't have this problem when not pregnant. It sucks.

brittandjp · July 2014

I'm not drinking coffee, but I do get an occasional iced chai tea latte from Starbucks a couple times a month. I also drank a Coke 4-5x a week during my rough headache phase (about 3-4 weeks). I did the same thing with DD. Even though I don't really get the headaches anymore, I still drink an occasional Coke maybe once a week.

murphyame · July 2014

This is by far the most confusing string of comments... but back the subject,

I tried to stop drinking coffee, but I only last a month. I have 1 to 2 cups a day.

blkocian · July 2014

I had cut out caffeine when we started trying. When I got into my second trimester I would have bad headaches some days & caffine was one thing my doctor told me to add back into my diet. So I have coffee some days or dark chocolate.
