Caffeine?
What are the rules about caffeine? I thought you weren't supposed to have any, but I recently read that up to 200 mg a day is fine. Is that true? What are you following?
Sorry for all the questions-I'm still in shock that I'm pregnant!

Caffeine?
I was told up to 200 mg a day was OK during the first trimester. At my 18 week appointment my OB said that I did not have to restrict my caffeine intake anymore since there is no risk to the baby from caffeine after the first trimester. I am not as strict as I was initially but I still limit my caffeine intake to about 200 mg or less per day.

Re: Caffeine?
I was told 200 mg a day was ok but I'm sure I went over that in the first trimester with Poo. I had some really bad headaches and since I couldn't stomach water due to MS coffee helped with the pain

Re: Caffeine?
I have kidney stones so my Dr told me to make sure I drank a cup of something with caffeine every day from day 1.
He wanted to make sure my urine kept moving and didn't sit and form stones and since caffeine is a diuretic I was told to drink it daily.
Just one cup of coffee each day.
I followed his orders and all was fine with DD.

Re: Caffeine?
I always kept the 200mg in mind and typically I drink a tall latte every day
