How much caffeine you allowed?

Hiya, so I’m a first time mom and I’m worrying about literally everything I put into my body, I do like a iced coffee now and again and I absolutely love cups of tea and fizzy drinks. I was just wondering how much you’re actually allowed in a day?

200mg i found this link helpful https://www.tommys.org/pregnancy-information/calculators-tools-resources/check-your-caffeine-intake-pregnancy

My midwife said one small cup of caffeine a day was ok

i too absolutely love fizzy drinks, i try to drink plenty water too but when i want a fizz, il try go for caffeine free ones like lemonade, tango/ fanta. I found caffeine free pepsi max and honestly couldnt tell the difference if im honest!

Ur allowed 200mg a day, there’s around 75 in a cup of tea for example u can google and find out how much things have. This is what I allow myself, if I’m working a long shift, tea in the morning then the smallest redbull u can get then another tea before bed. If I’m not working I’ll have a coffee instead and then a bottle of fizzy juice. Just remember things like chocolate also have caffeine in. Personally I don’t say no not another cup of tea because I only have 50mg less, but that’s a personal choice I have made that’s totally up to you but as u hear ur baby is growing healthy and okay ur mind will start to stop monitoring quite as much. Just made sure ur eating things will iron in for ur energy and for the baby and lots of healthy meals but that doesn’t mean u can’t treat urself so don’t be too hard on urself if ur comfortable with it🥰

Go on the NHS website. It will have everything from how much tea/cofee you can have to how much energy drinks you can have. You can even have wine 😅 x

I have one to two cups of coffee a day! Feels nice to be able to after having none during pregnancy haha

200 ml a day which is actually quite a good amount considerably :) NHS has great advice and you can check most of the things online x I prefer having espresso at home as I know what coffee you use. I drink 2 espressos/2 coffees a day plus a small tea. I dont drink any fizzy juices though or eat my chocolate. X

I love hot drinks tea and coffee so what I usually do is drink a caffeinated coffee in the morning and drink decaf the rest of the day! Still feels like you’re getting coffee but without the caffeine, sometimes tricks me into feeling more awake 😂x
