So, yeah, I partake in the caffeine :-) 3 weeks to go (hoping a few days early though!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141648 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 11:35:13 +0000 ChelseaRose 141648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: Where did you get that info? Everything that I have read online says that at least 97.5% of the caffeine has to be removed for coffee to be considered decaf in the US. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141600 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 08:56:56 +0000 MusicaV 141600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just chocolate. I was never really a coffee or tea drinker, and I only drank caffeinated soda with Mexican food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141585 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 08:12:03 +0000 chrispygal 141585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had issues with hot coffee before I even knew I was pregnant, and that has carried through the entire time. I can handle an iced coffee no problem. During the week I'll have a small iced coffee or a small iced latte, and that's about it for me with caffeine unless I'm eating chocolate, which I have not been a huge fan of pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141575 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 08:01:50 +0000 Tidybee 141575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink a chai latte twice a week and will have 1-2 iced teas a week. I stayed away as much as could during the first trimester...I think I had 2 chais the whole trimester. but definitely had chocolate...i was always craving sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141558 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 07:33:53 +0000 pastemoo 141558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>decaf is only half the caffeine of regular coffee. i have real coffee about 1-3x/month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141482 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 21:28:22 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 141482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't drink any coffee my first trimester, but I started drinking a cup of coffee 2-3x a week throughout the rest of my pregnancy. It was hard not to. I stopped drinking it completely after I gave birth though because I was breastfeeding and I really didn't want any caffeine in the LO's system (even though they say not much gets through to the breastmilk). As a sleep deprived mama, the last thing I wanted was even a chance that the LO could be extra alert/awake for no good reason... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141439 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 19:02:49 +0000 His Barista 141439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. Working with coffee makes it hard not to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141391 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 17:41:15 +0000 cupcakemama 141391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swapped to decaf tea at home so I didn't have to keep track. The first tri I went off coffee. 2nd tri onwards I just did decaf latte. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141357 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 17:00:38 +0000 eeh 141357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really limited my soda intake during the first trimester but still had one every couple of days. Now, I'll drink one maybe every other day or so. I never gave up chocolate and never monitored how much I ate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141340 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:46:23 +0000 lemondrop 141340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I did, but I limited myself to no more than one a day... well 2 if we count chocolate ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141312 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 15:35:34 +0000 lavender 141312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The smell of coffee during the first tri made me sick, but once I was in the second and the remainder of my pregnancy I had a small coffee every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141292 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 14:38:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 141292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't drink coffee at all during the first trimester, but I had the occasional soda. Now in my second, I have a cup of coffee most mornings, and occasionally a soda. I don't really drink tea or eat chocolate. I'm still well within the recommended limits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141237 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 12:47:09 +0000 Sweet T 141237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would drink sweet tea occasionally. It was my biggest weakness. When I wanted a coke, I would drink the orange-mango flavored Sparkling Ice water. I loved those while I was pregnant!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141228 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 12:42:49 +0000 HabesBabe 141228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only tea (hot and iced). My coffee is decaf (which I know has caffeine, but not much- and I have a cup a week) and I drink Sprite when i want a soda. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141223 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 12:40:49 +0000 heffalump 141223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rarely drink/eat it anyway. Sometimes I'd have a sip here and there, but nothing major. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141191 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 12:10:44 +0000 Minnie_Girl 141191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll eat a little bit of chocolate, but that's it. No soda, tea, or coffee. I'm so glad I never got into that habit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141183 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 12:00:28 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 141183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck yes I did. About 3 lattes a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141181 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 11:57:06 +0000 mrskc 141181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't drink coffee in the first trimester. Now that I'm feeling better, I've been having an iced coffee every few days. It especially helps when I have a headache. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141166 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 11:34:35 +0000 BoogieBea 141166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some soda here and there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141159 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 11:18:11 +0000 autumnlove 141159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not much of a soda drinker but I would crave it during pregnancy. My OB said it was ok in moderation but stay away from diet soda. So i had a few sips of regular soda every week...<br /> Now I am craving a fountain Coke with ice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141149 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 10:27:22 +0000 SleepyMonkey 141149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a cup of english breakfast tea with milk maybe 2-3 times per week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141146 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 10:24:28 +0000 IcebergMom 141146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I drank some but I definitely cut back!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141143 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 10:23:28 +0000 ChelseaRose 141143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I've been making decaf iced tea at home and mainly drinking that when I crave the taste of it. I may have some here and there once I'm out of the first trimester, but I haven't decided yet. I've had a little bit of chocolate, but it was milk chocolate and not high quality stuff, so I don't think it has much caffeine. I can't stand coffee, so that was never an issue for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141107 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 09:38:43 +0000 leelee 141107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have a little soda depending in what I'm eating. I haven't had tea since I found out i was pregnant though. Chocolate in the other hand i can't get enough of... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141106 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 09:38:20 +0000 mrsjyw 141106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a lil bit of coffee every now and again. But for the most part I've stayed away... esp since I'm still in the first trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141103 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 09:32:30 +0000 winniebee 141103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a cup of coffee every morning (and have my whOle pregnancy) and the occasional soda. I also have chocolate occasionally. All within my OBs allowable limits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141099 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 09:28:28 +0000 hilsy85 141099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I"m having a very small cup of coffee right now! My OB told me that she continued to have a regular cup every day during her 3 pregnancies...I never end up finishing mine anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-drink-caffeinated-beverages-during-pregnancy#post-141094 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 09:24:26 +0000 LuLu Mom 141094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every once in awhile, I love sweet tea right now so that is my go to source. If I feel like a pop I just choose a caffeine free one and my body doesn't mind. </p>
