How many caffinated drinks do you consume per day?

Lately I have found my number between 2 and 3 which I know is not great, but some days I can't resist.

bellaciao · January 2009

I would say one on average. Some days, I have two cups of coffee - and some days I have none.

webMistress0609 · January 2009

Usually 2, sometimes I "accidentally" have a 3rd. I haven't really worried about it though, my mom drank a pot of coffee a day w/ all 3 of her pregnancies with no problems.?

mrsg052904 · January 2009

1 is my average... some days none. some days 2.

MrsSchoon04 · January 2009

Some days I have a cup of coffee in the morning. Other than that I don't really drink caffeinated drinks. I don't when I'm not pregnant though. Can't give up my coffee though!

velina · January 2009

I drink a mug of coffee almost every morning and sometimes a can of soda in the afternoon.

Princess_Lily · January 2009

I try to keep it at one cup per day, but I find myself sometimes drinking a coca-cola.

Listen, if caffine is your only vice in your pregnancy, I would rather you be doing that - then shooting heroin Wink

hula_lula · January 2009

Technically speaking I have probably one every day or two.

But that includes teas that are barely caffinated. I'd have to drink like 4 of them to equal a cup of coffee.

prettyshoes · January 2009

Normally one. A cup of coffee in the morning. If I'm really tired during the day, I might have a half glass of Coke but usually not.

theduck808 · January 2009

two coffees, heavy on the milk (been liking it that way since BFP). i'm tempted to sneak in a third but DH confiscates the cup. i try to argue that with milk, am only drinking HALF a cuppa...but this reasoning is massive fail with the hubby.

MidwestTexan · January 2009

I have maybe one or two cans of Diet Coke each week. I gave up my morning coffee back in the first trimester because the smell of it made me want to vomit and I just haven't gotten back in the habit of drinking it.

courtj · January 2009

I drink maybe one -two glasses of tea, if that. It just depends! I definately drink more on the weekends.

JamieNIan · January 2009

These days when I get to work I have a cup of hot tea, then it's water or juice the rest of the day.

AshleyKass · January 2009

I drink 1 diet coke a day.

ljlkm · January 2009

I think the March of Dimes recommends no more than 200 mg per day of caffeine, although there is a British study that came out a couple of months ago that found a correlation between any caffeine intake at all and low birthweight babies. I almost always have 1 cup of coffee/day and then don't stress if I have coffee ice cream or chocolate or something else caffeinated.

HaveFaith08 · January 2009

None - I don't drink anything with caffeine....

kant08 · January 2009

2-3

MrsThomas2Be · January 2009

I haven't had caffinated drinks since being pregnant.

Pecas13 · January 2009

I used to average 1-2 cans of pop a day, and now I have cut back significantly to 1-2 a week. I feel like a saint! I have been trying to drink more V-8 Juices instead.

MrsR0908 · January 2009

0---As soon as I found out I was PG I quit it all together. I know I can have a little but I just cut it all out!

inbetween · January 2009

On average, maybe 1 every other day. I have drinking water, milk or orange juice. Can't get enough of those!

aggiewed05 · January 2009

I drink 1 soda a day rarely more but never more than 24 oz. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one.

janbrady · January 2009

In general, zero, but I discovered that my favorite flavor of vitamin water had added caffeine. Oops!

teach101 · January 2009

I gave up caffinated drinks before getting pg b/c I was having a hard time and I have stayed away from them since. However, I'm thinking of taking up a DD Latte to help w/the constipation. I miss those.

mrs. remy · January 2009

none....I used to drink 2 cups of coffee every morning but once we started TTC i switched to the half-caff stuff. Then I got knocked up and coffee does not appeal to me. AT ALL. I guess I eat a little bit in chocolate and things like that, but thats so minimal I really dont think it counts.

heathb21 · January 2009

I usually don't have any caffeinated drinks.

ForForever · January 2009

Usually 0. I'll have a coke maybe once a week or so.

Clevelander · January 2009

one or two per week.

dmsmth · January 2009

ZERO! I didn't drink any caffinated drinks before I got pregnant and I'm not about to start now. coffee, tea, soda: yuck, yuck and yuck! Angry

Every once in a great while when I go to Penn Station, I have their lemonaide, but I'm not sure if that has caffine or not...

Lynette21638 · January 2009

I don't drink anything with caffeine in it, but I've always been like that. It's not something that I had to change when I got pregnant. I haven't drank pop since I was about 11, and I never really got into coffee that much.

mavilabride · January 2009

None Crying

I'm not trying to sound snobby but American coffee makes me want to puke. It always has. The only time that I can drink it is when I'm on a plane at 5AM, in a suit, and having a meeting as soon as I land. Other than that eww

I normally drink really heavy/strong either Cuban or Colombian coffee. It has a lot more caffeine than regular coffee so I can only put in a little bit. And what's the point of drinking coffee if its mostly milk? So I just cut it out completely.

But I miss it. I really, really do.

angelina477 · January 2009

I quit entirely due to the fact that it was the only thing that was directly linked to miscarriage. I really don't miss it at all and was a huge coffee drinker before.

SoOn2bEbLaNk · January 2009

Funny, I was thinking about asking the same thing!!

One cup of coffee per day and an ocassional Diet coke at lunch.

McLovinfromHawaii · January 2009

Zero for me. I hate coffee and I go for caffeine free pop (when I even drink pop).

librarianlisa · January 2009

I have one can of Coke each morning, and sometimes I'll have a cup of caffeinated tea. Every once in a great while I will have a second can of coke in the afternoon if my headache is getting bad.

Aug Bride · January 2009

I try not to drink caffine but lately have been getting really strong headaches. I have started drinking one cup of coffee in the morning or one pop in the afternoon.

mrsbhk22 · January 2009

I didn't drink caffinated drinks much before my pregnancy, so it's stayed about the same (around 2-3 per week). My sister drank 2-3 cups of coffee a day with each pregnancy and her two kids are beautiful and perfectly healthy.
