you'd think i'd already know this being on my 5th :roll: but i never knew why we shouldnt drink coffee? im drinking about 3 cups of a morning & 1 in the afternoon to keep myself awake is that too much?

I believe its because its a stimulant' and can irritate the uterus, also it not a great form of hydration as it can be a diuretic and make you dehydrated. Its recommended you only have 200mg daily max in pregnancy, which I think equates go 3 cups of tea.

but google it and find out about coffee.
