The Lowdown on Coffee.
I am a big coffee drinker. Huge, prob about 3-4 cups a day.
I had one cup already and I am dragging right now and would love another one.
How much damage are we talking here? Should I totally not do it or can I have another cup?
Going from 3-4 to 1 is way harder than I thought it would be :(

Re: The Lowdown on Coffee.
I just googled it because I don't know and it says 1-2 cups a day are acceptable.

Re: The Lowdown on Coffee.
Found this on BabyCenter:
"The March of Dimes advises women to limit their caffeine intake to less than 200 mg per day (that's about one 12-ounce cup of coffee)."
I do half-calf 2 times a day sometimes even just decaf now! My dr's philosophy is everything in moderation. If I need an extra cup I go for it.

Re: The Lowdown on Coffee.
I drink 1 12-ounce cup/day and did for my last pregnancy also.
Maybe you can do 2 12-ounce cups, but half-caf both times? That might help

Re: The Lowdown on Coffee.
My doc actually said that anything under 4 cups is fine. She said there isnt anything really withstanding research-wise. She said of course dont have a venti starbucks..
I personally drink about half to 3/4ths of my 16 oz coffee mug per day. Thats about 200-300 ml.
My baby is healthy and happy!
