I still don't like it at 22 weeks, which is shocking to me! I do like iced coffee though so I probably have one of those once a week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-coffee-during-your-first-trimester/page/2#post-1619379 Wed, 07 May 2014 13:39:55 +0000 septca 1619379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you all read this article?

After she was born, however, my coffee intake crept up to 2-3 cups a day. I am good with 2 now, but really fear going back to one when I get pregnant again (I feel safe at 1 every day, 2 some days...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-coffee-during-your-first-trimester/page/2#post-1619376 Wed, 07 May 2014 13:39:06 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1619376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a major aversion to hot drinks in my first trimester, so I stayed away.

A can of Mountain Dew has about 50 mg, so it really wasn't a big deal like people make it out to be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-coffee-during-your-first-trimester/page/2#post-1618614 Wed, 07 May 2014 10:01:00 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 1618614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't give it up. I can only really drink one a day, anyway, which is well within the safe level for pregnancy.</p> <p>Plus, there are problems with most coffee substitutes. Green tea can interfere with folic acid absorption (and still has some caffeine) and most herbal teas have an ingredient that some authority will tell you to avoid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-coffee-during-your-first-trimester/page/2#post-1618568 Wed, 07 May 2014 09:52:35 +0000 Dandelion 1618568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never cut it out during pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-coffee-during-your-first-trimester/page/2#post-1618540 Wed, 07 May 2014 09:46:55 +0000 Adira 1618540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank coffee!

I mostly cut it out in the first trimester - I had the occasional can to try to relieve a headache without taking Tylenol, but probably no more than 5 during the entire first trimester. Now that I'm in the second trimester, I've been having a caffeinated diet soda a few times a week.</p> <p>also, I totally agree with others - the smell of coffee was so disgusting to me during the first trimester! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-coffee-during-your-first-trimester#post-1584314 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 16:23:09 +0000 skipra 1584314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but only because I couldn't stand the smell or taste of it. I couldn't even talk to people with coffee breath and normally it doesn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-coffee-during-your-first-trimester#post-1584300 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 16:15:37 +0000 kml636 1584300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One cup a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-coffee-during-your-first-trimester#post-1584296 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 16:12:51 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1584296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't drank any coffee during this pregnancy, which is really rough because I'm an overnight nurse and we LIVE off caffeine. It's just not worth the possible increased risk of miscarriage. The verdict is out on it, but just not worth it to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-coffee-during-your-first-trimester#post-1584292 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 16:10:28 +0000 whenoceansrise 1584292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a huge coffee drinker so cutting it after my BFP wasn't a big deal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-coffee-during-your-first-trimester#post-1584276 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 16:06:18 +0000 lioneyes 1584276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not really, because it (and most everything) made me feel sick. i did manage about 1 iced coffee a week in the 1st tri, and now in 2nd, have it about 3-4x a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-coffee-during-your-first-trimester#post-1584200 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 15:30:46 +0000 Pumuckl 1584200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had coffee all through out pregnancy and LO turned out fine. I stuck with one cup a day and only decaf for all others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-coffee-during-your-first-trimester#post-1584190 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 15:25:39 +0000 swurlygurl 1584190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cut it out for the first trimester (read it *can* cause miscarriage and I was super paranoid about that, having suffered a couple). After that I started drinking coffee again.<br /> I'm a crazy coffee junkie too, and I didn't want to moderate my caffeine. I'm now drinking decaf through the rest of the pregnancy. Not the same, but better than nothing I suppose! And this way I don't feel guilty about having 3 cups </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-coffee-during-your-first-trimester#post-1584188 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 15:25:20 +0000 snowjewelz 1584188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I cut it out after getting a BFP! I'll probably start drinking a little bit again after 1st trimester... It'd be nice to enjoy a small iced coffee during the summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-drink-coffee-during-your-first-trimester#post-1584181 Tue, 22 Apr 2014 15:22:16 +0000 Rocker2014 1584181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I hate coffee all the time so I didn't drink that, but I did have caffeine in other forms - my doc ok'd up to 300mg per day but I tried to keep it under 100mg daily - the only way I could possibly function a few times. </p>
