Did you cut out coffee completely?

I heard coffee is okay in moderation. I mostly drink small fraps, like three times a week. Drs say it's okay but wondering what you all are doing?

Did you cut out coffee completely?

I know it's ok, but I have cut out all caffeine (except a teeny amount of chocolate). I'm 12 weeks and am thinking after the ultrascan on Tuesday I'll add in a small amount of iced tea - mainly because I am so tired of regular water.

Re: Did you cut out coffee completely?

I cut out all caffeine while TTC and during the first trimester. Now that I'm in the second trimester I have had a few cups of decaf. I know I'm crazy but I never drank a lot of coffee anyway.

So far orange juice has helped me out big time for the random few nausea moments. Maybe it's the sour?
You know my bad track record with water. I need to make a damn checklist in my phone to remind myself.

Did you cut out coffee completely?

Last time I pretty much cut it out completely until I was almost at the second trimester and then I went back to a cup a day. This time, I cut it out for a few weeks but now I have it most mornings. I doesn't taste as good to me so I usually only end up having half a cup or so.

I had one cup of regular coffee per day

Re: Did you cut out coffee completely?

I barely ever drank coffee before, so didn't need to cut anything out - but I've had a few iced coffees or iced teas here and there, nothing too crazy. I forget the exact amount, but I think in general a cup of coffee a day is a-ok.

I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I did have a caffeinated Diet Coke 1-2x a day and I did also have the occasional frapp. You can have under 200mg/day.

When I was pregnant I began doing half decaf coffee, drank a cup a day through most of my pregnancy...

Re: Did you cut out coffee completely?

When I was pregnant my doctor told me he wanted me to have a cup of coffee or tea every day for the caffeine. I have a history of kidney stones and pregnancy can make them worse. So he wanted me on caffeine to keep me peeing and flush out my kidneys. ( in addition to lots of water of course). In my first tri I was turned off to coffee so I drank tea every day. Once I lost my aversion to it I had a cup of coffee every day.

I was never a big coffee drinker. I pretty much cut out all caffeine when we started ttc. I know you can still have a small amount when you are pg, but I just don't like what caffeine does to me. It makes me jittery and anxious.

I cut it out completely. I don't even do decaf. My dr. Ok'd the 200 mg but I decided to just go cold turkey. I will probably go back to 1 cup a day once I am breast feeding since I miss it a lot!

Re: Did you cut out coffee completely?

I only drank decaf coffee and only like 1 cup in the morning. I didnt drink any soda or diet soda. Basically water, seltzer, and the occasional iced tea later in pregnancy.
