DH didn't know until recently that a tall drink contains 2 shots. With #1 I cut out all coffee and had a latte once a month, maybe. I had weak tea and was okay without caffeine. With #2 I needed 1 coffee during the work week, especially during weeks I was doing presentations. daniellemybelle on "If you had caffeine while pregnant, how much typically?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-caffeine-while-pregnant-how-much-typically#post-2287965 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 17:05:21 +0000 daniellemybelle 2287965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ There were a few days when I would let myself have one Diet Coke and one coffee but most days I would only do one or the other.

Maybe a few iced teas. Since then (almost 28 weeks now), I have either a mini soda (7oz?) or a half-caff coffee three or four times a week, when I'm really dragging in the early afternoon. sapphire on "If you had caffeine while pregnant, how much typically?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-caffeine-while-pregnant-how-much-typically#post-2287892 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 16:02:58 +0000 sapphire 2287892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 1 cup of coffee in the morning, I switched to decaf if I wanted more than one cup. autumnlove on "If you had caffeine while pregnant, how much typically?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-caffeine-while-pregnant-how-much-typically#post-2287890 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 16:00:52 +0000 autumnlove 2287890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Iced tea or soda a few times a month which is about the same for me when I'm not pregnant. lemondrop on "If you had caffeine while pregnant, how much typically?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-caffeine-while-pregnant-how-much-typically#post-2287886 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 15:58:47 +0000 lemondrop 2287886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Always 1 cup in the mornings. Another 1-2 throughout the day as needed.

I've cut back from ~1cup a day and maybe a soda a week to ~2 or 3 somethings a week. I was pretty conscious of it in the first tri as I had pretty bad morning sickness and the acid/caffeine didn't help, but now in my 3rd I don't feel bad at all about having a bit. I figure having a lower amount makes it kick more when I need it once he shows up :) Eko on "If you had caffeine while pregnant, how much typically?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-caffeine-while-pregnant-how-much-typically#post-2287860 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 15:36:41 +0000 Eko 2287860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Usually it was just one cup of coffee in the morning. But, if work was too cray cray or I slept poorly I went for the second cup in the afternoon. Probably in reality I did that 1-2x a week. JenGirl on "If you had caffeine while pregnant, how much typically?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-caffeine-while-pregnant-how-much-typically#post-2287849 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 15:26:32 +0000 JenGirl 2287849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm not sure what you're counting as a "unit" but I generally have a cup of coffee and a soda on weekdays and a couple sodas on the weekends. My coffee and soda put me just under 200 mg of caffeine per day, the soda on weekends is usually less than that.

We switched to caffeine free at home but I didn't worry about it when I was out and about. lovehoneybee on "If you had caffeine while pregnant, how much typically?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-caffeine-while-pregnant-how-much-typically#post-2287682 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:40:21 +0000 lovehoneybee 2287682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I usually just have one coffee a day....16 oz coffee, cream, no sugar. Occasionally I have a can of coke (or half a 20oz bottle, I can't finish a full one), or if we go out I get a coke (and then switch to water after one). On the weekends I might have 2 mugs of coffee, though...I think my mug is 10oz? I'm not really worried about the caffeine, but more than that gives me heartburn. I didn't have any coffee at all during the first trimester, even the thought of coffee made me want to throw up. I did drink more coke, because caffeine withdrawal=migraines for me.

The compromise I made with myself was to make coffee at home vs drink the stuff at work. Coffee at my office must be supercharged with caffeine because it always makes me jittery.

Usually either tea in the morning or a soda at lunch. Sometimes if I was really dragging I would have both tho, together they were still under the recommended amount. justGG on "If you had caffeine while pregnant, how much typically?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-caffeine-while-pregnant-how-much-typically#post-2287670 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:30:38 +0000 justGG 2287670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ With my first I didn't have ... now with my second I wasn't as worried and had one cup of coffee about three times a week as needed :) Can't wait to have unlimited amounts of coffee ... this onesie says it all <a href="http://teespring.com/babylist" rel="nofollow">http://teespring.com/babylist</a> MaryM on "If you had caffeine while pregnant, how much typically?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-caffeine-while-pregnant-how-much-typically#post-2287669 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:30:34 +0000 MaryM 2287669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I didn't answer the poll, because I don't have it daily. I tried to rarely have it first semester, but did occasionally. I'm in the 2nd now, and will have a coffee or tea here and there, but still not daily. kodybear on "If you had caffeine while pregnant, how much typically?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-caffeine-while-pregnant-how-much-typically#post-2287668 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:30:21 +0000 kodybear 2287668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ a cup of coffee a day at least. sometimes a soda as well. i tried to stay under the recommended mg of caffeine.

So my tea was pretty strong in the morning and then get weaker and weaker throughout the day. My OB said that was fine. I did that through out the whole pregnancy. I just couldn't stand the taste of water anymore. Foodnerd81 on "If you had caffeine while pregnant, how much typically?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-caffeine-while-pregnant-how-much-typically#post-2287664 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:27:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 2287664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ First pregnancy- 1st trimester almost none, because it made me sick to even think about coffee, but I would occasionally have a soda or iced tea. 2nd and 3rd trimester one cup of coffee in the morning, occasionally a second coffee or soda in the afternoon Second pregnancy- ha. I NEED caffeine to get through the day with my toddler. First trimester I had at least one cup of coffee in the morning and usually another coffee or soda to get me through the afternoon. Now (2nd trimester) I have like 1.5 cups in the morning and usually can get by without any other caffeine, unless I get a headache and then I have a very small coke. I worry a little bit that I've drank too much caffeine, especially early in the pregnancy, but I seriously needed it to function and to help with the stupid hormonal headaches.

I've been really caffeine sensitive this pregnancy, so I can't have anything caffeinated after about 2pm
