please be honest
how much caffeine do you REALLY have??
In the beginning of my pregnancy I didnt have ANY caffeine but a few weeks ago the dr told me I could so I have been having a diet coke now and then and tea at night(decaf)
I am starting to feel guilty about it ....does anyone think I am doing something wrong?

I have 1 - 2 cups a day. I would be dangerous without any!
ETS: that is coffee only. I do not drink any soda.

Re: please be honest
I probably have about 5 cans of soda a week. Ice-tea once in a blue moon also.

Re: please be honest
I have about 2 cups of coffee a day. Sometimes I have a can of coke, and if I do then I only have 1 cup of coffee. Sometimes I have a Medium Coffee Coolata, then that's all I have. Today I am on my 2nd cup of tea.
So I would say that I have about 3 or 4 servings a day.

Re: please be honest
I honestly don't think you are doing anything wrong as far as the caffeine you are having.. my doctor told me that in moderation, caffeine was perfectly OK and that I did not need to eliminate entirely from my diet, which I haven't
I don't drink soda (just because I have totally lost my taste for it) but every morning I have still have my medium iced coffee and all is good!

Re: please be honest
I don't drink cafeeine on a daily basis, but I didn't pre-pregnancy either. I drink it whenever I get the urge to though- coffee, espresso, soda, green tea. I've had it all in moderation. There are random days where I have a coffee craving and will drink a couple of cups. Then I won't want any for days. I don't stress about it too much.

Re: please be honest
I drank a CAN (and only the can was good for me for some reason) of coke every single day when I was PG...I just couldn't give it up, it was a craving...
then on some days I would more...
Completely fine...
ETA: my comfort was that it took 8 cans of coke to equal the caffeine in a cup of coffee, and plenty of women drink their one cup of joe a day...

Re: please be honest
I have either 2 16oz. of Sweet Tea a day or one 32oz. I do fill up the cup with ice so I'm not sure if that makes it less caffeine?  I also have chocolate here and there. I didn't have caffeine in the beginning either and I definitely have more now with this baby than I did with Caiden. I think you're always more paranoid in the beginning of a PG, and then as the weeks go on you don't really slack off but you learn that you really can have this or that. Enjoy, but I wouldn't overdue it. I think you're allowed to have 3 12oz. cans of soda a day so technically 36 oz. of a caffeinated drink. If you want some, drink it!

Re: please be honest
My Dr. told me it's ok to have 1 -2 cups a day. I did with Ryan but the Coffee isn't sitting right with this one (happened in the beg. w/Ryan too). Once I feel better I will have it. I wouldn't worry abt. it.

Re: please be honest
I used to drink soda 4-5 times a week. Now I drink it once or twice a week. I don't think you should feel guilty at all.

Re: please be honest
Mr OB told me it was fine to have some caffine. I had 1 small cup of coffee a day (10oz) and she said that was fine. I didn't drink iced tea, soda or eat chocolate.

Re: please be honest
I don't drink any caffeine, but I barely did before I was preggo. Once in a blue moon I'll crave some diet soda and have a can or a cup.

Re: please be honest
I drink a coke a day and also a couple glasses of iced tea on any given day. I also eat hotdogs which some people say are a no no. Everything in moderation and there is nothing to worry about!

Re: please be honest
I usually allow myself 1 caffeine drink a day occasionally I'll splurge and make it two.
