TTC: Coffee Thoughts

I was just curious to know what expecting mothers thoughts are when it comes to drinking coffee while pregnant. I've read a lot of books and articles that say less than 200mg per day of caffeine is fine but I've talked to a lot of mothers who stayed away from coffee completely while pregnant. What are your thoughts and in your experience what have you done?

TTC: our second month trying, I ovulate in 2 days and don't know if I should start weening myself off of coffee now or later once I am pregnant. Coffee helps clear my morning brain fog and keeps me focused at work so quitting cold turkey wont do.

Thank you all in advance for your advice!

  • I didn’t quit coffee. I don’t drink it every day, more of like a treat every now and then, but I make sure it’s below 200mg
  • I used to drink alot of coffee 4-5 cups a day. When I found out I was pregnant I cut down to one in the morning and had decaf the rest of the day. Now coffee is not appealing to me at all I have started having herbal teas instead.
