Coffee

Hello
We were given an espresso coffee machine for our wedding and we have one every morning. I have been told that I should stop drinking coffee. Is anyone else dooing this?
I am missing it so much

I haven't been able to stand tea or coffee since about 4.5 weeks.

They say to limit caffiene but whatever you are comfortable with.

I am a coffee lover and cannot stand the thought since getting pregnant.

i had a coke at the weekend and the occasional tea.

last pregnancy i went without coffee for 12 weeks again couldn't stand it but started drinking if after that, I am not a heavy coffee drinker though.

I was actually surprised at how much was considered safe in a day!

I honestly couldn't stomach the thought or smell of coffee from about 4 weeks until very recently but now I'm kicking many of my food aversions and I'm allowing myself one a day. Caffeine really does affect me now though compared to before I got preg so one a day wakes me up enough and any more just makes me feel jittery and ill!

One or two espresso coffees a day are fine. I asked my mw (coz I'm a total coffee addict) and she said anything up to 6 shots of coffee (most espressos are doubles unless you ask otherwise) a day are fine, so if you are fine drinking it (ie, it doesn't make you feel sick) then go for it!!

The only thing is, if you have low iron levels, apparently it can hinder your iron absorbtion, so I would maybe limit it if you are anaemic.

This was posted today when i was feeling so tired, i wanted to sleep at my desk i thought man would i love a creamy flat white! But that feeling passed I had an orange
I think i will hit the ice cream tonight tho

I was told to avoid all caffeine including chocolate *gasp*. That may be because we did IVF though and they wanted us to maximise our chances. I haven't had a coffee in years but still love the smell and I've gone right off chocolate since I was about 5 weeks pregnant. I never ever thought my sweet tooth would leave me, figure it can only be a good thing!

I'm sure caffeine in moderation is fine - we have to take care of our sanity too!!

Yep I normally have a cup of coffee in the mornings...unless I'm spewing of course lol

But that's it. I don't drink sodas and this pg I"ve gone right off tea...urgh

Funny how every pg is different aye?!

There are pretty much no studies to say it's harmful to the baby so it's really just up to you what you do =) I've felt like a coffee every day with this baby where i never was a big coffee drinker before! Something interesting i read when trying to work out whether i should be having that one instant coffee a day or not. Apparently there was a test done on rats while pregnant. Nothing happened with a little bit but when giving a high dose, the babies were born smaller than usual though it didn't really mean much because a rat is a lot more sensitive to caffeine than humans. The way they explained it, is that you'd have to drink at least 60 cups of cafe coffee a day to have the same effect and the only thing that happened was slightly smaller size babies. I'm sure that one cup a day can't hurt!

I cant stand the smell of coffee it sends me running to the bathroom, so the office that I share with one other has a no coffee rule now. Before I found out I was pregnant I used to drink coke by the bucket load, since I have been pregnant I havent really drunk any.
