Coffee????

[JuniorMinime]

Well I went for scan today cause I have decided to go private and I am going to go with the OB that looked after me before. He couldn't really tell how far I am he did say though that I am early, probably about 5 weeks. But he said that it all looks good so far.

I was actually wondering if you should drink coffee? I was told I could cause I only drink one cup a day but I was just thinking what you all thought?

I hope I didn't scare anyone with my last thread but I was just scared and nervous.

Hi Becs :wave: !
I totally went off coffee when I was pg...:crying: . Had to force 1 down every morning or suffer the wrath of a serious lack-of-caffeine headache!
IMO, 1 or 2 coffees a day won't do any harm, there's certainly worse you could do! My gp backed me up on this too, coz better to have a happy pg mummy than a sad cranky mummy! :laughing:

Apparently 2 cups a day does no harm.

I switched to decaf in the first couple of weeks and after 12 weeks I went back on the normal stuff.

At around 30 weeks I went off it completely, couldn't stand the stuff. I haven't gone back on it yet. I drink tea now.

on the "whats good for you" show a few weeks ago they did an expose type thing on the myths of pregnancy

apparently up to four cups a day is fine :eek:

i personally decided very early on that i would have one caffenated drink per day and thats what i'm ok with

but everyone has to decide what they're ok with (along with medical advice)

so my advice - find out all you can from REPUTABLE SOURCES (ie not just the internet) and make your decision and stick to your guns - people will tell you your whole pregnancy you're doing the wrong thing but if you have the right information and feel good about your decisions then you don't need to worry about what random people say

I drink 3-4 cups of coffee. WIth DD as well and they are all fine :laughing:

I kept to one cup per day, but actually went off coffee a bit with my first pg. Couldn't stand drinking it for months. My OB never asked me about it either, it wasn't on his checklist of "bad" things (such as drinking / smoking).

Cheers

[bronny-jane]

i drink between 6-8 cups a day:o

[~EmsMum~]

While I was pg with DD i used to drink around 2 cups a day

[blessedmummy]

yeah.. i didnt drink coffee.. i mostly drank tea, i was bad for drinking coke though!! i used to drink one a day and that was fine, so, they say to keep it moderation, so whatever your GP says do! im sure it will be fine! anyhow.. hope this helps..

hello
thats how I knew I was pregnant...I used ti love my 2 cups a day, but this one morning I was making mine and hubby's morning coffee and I ran to the bathroom and was sick...the smell still makes me feel sick and I am 33 weeks pregnant! I just drink tea now, about 2 cups a day...I think moderation is the key.

good luck with your pregnancy

I gave it up early on, but mainly because I was sick as a dog and couldn't bear the smell of it.
Once my morning sickness went away around 14 weeks I started drinking it again. I have a cup a day.
Most OB's say you can have up to three.

I went off coffee during the first three months - couldn't even stand the THOUGHT of drinking a coffee, let alone the taste/smell of it.

Since I hit about 14 weeks the aversion went away so I've been having up to a coffee a day (my boss makes the trip over to the coffee shop every morning at 10:30 - spoilt or what??), although since I hit about 34 weeks I've been having hot chocolate rather than my normal latte - guess I'm going off coffee again.

When I stop work I probably won't have any more than 2 or 3 coffee's a week - I don't desperately like instant so I'll just have coffee (or hot choc) if I'm out doing last minute baby shopping/nesting stuff.

[NoMoreScuba]

I had hot chocolate until i was about 13 weeks because i was sick and didn't feel like coffee. Now i'm back on it. I was told to stick to no more than 3 caffeinated drinks a day, so that's what i've been doing.

I don't feel like having coffee ever since I found out I'm pregnant and used to love coffee so much!!:hyper:

I switched now to a healthier option which is a coffee made from date seeds called dattero and it tastes like a weak coffee and I love it.
Try it as a latte or make it home using a plunger.:yes:
I hope it's helps.:goodvibes:

[jagamoe]

I love coffee atleast 4-5 cups a day when preg with DS. Was fine but only drank 2 at most a day with DD I went completely off coffee n couldn't drink it it felt like drinking nails and dirt so I drank iced coffee n tea but soon as I had her all I wanted was coffee

My 'health during pregnancy' literature from WCH says 1x expresso or 3x instants is acceptable in a day.

I'm having 2-4 instants in a bid to try and keep me awake *ugh*, 24wks and still Soooo tired :(

With my first 2 I didn't drink any coffee mind you back then I didn't drink coffee. This time around I kept it at 1 cup each morning and once or twice a week I had one mid afternoon that was for the first 15 weeks since then I usually have 1 in the morning and one mid afternoon occasionally I will have one mid morning.

[Boobycino]

I didn't feel like coffee in the first trimester. Now I drink probably 4-5 per week. Which I'm comfortable with.
