Should I stop drinking coffee ASAP?

I’m a sucker for my coffee in the early AM and just found out I'm pregnant. Should I stop coffee ASAP? I don’t drink more than 2 cups in the mornings. Also any foods I should steer clear of?

Your be fine to have your morning coffee 🥰 1-2 cups of coffee is what they say is the limit but my sister in law had about 4 a day as she loves coffee! No issues with baby at all. I know excessive amounts of caffeine can have affect i believe. Foods I mean uncooked meats like patè, certain fish etc. If you have a look on the NHS website even if your from America or if you have your own version it will state on there 😊 but try not to panic too much x

I don’t drink sodas or eat sugary food, at least yet. I stick to a strict regimen when it comes to carb protein, and fat intake. But I will be more careful as I start to notice cravings! Thank you!

You can still drink coffee. Can always try decaf, I never can taste a difference.

I'm a huge coffee drinker. I switched to decaff except 1 cup a day. I saved mine for the afternoon at work as thats when i needed a pick me up. So if you want one in the morning then go for it. Look up NHS list of foods to avoid. They have all the info on there for pregnancy. You can print it off & stick it to your fridge to remind you if you want to be extra cautious.

I tried to keep my daily caffeine intake under 100mg. But that was just my preference. I think they say you can go up to 120mg a day but I can’t remember exactly.

Im a sucker for my coffee too I always have it strong but since I have been pregnant I have it weak I. 30 weeks pregnant and have been drink 2 cups a.day and bubs is fine your aloud to ha e 2 -3 cups a day as I have spoken to my ob about it

There's an increased risk of miscarriage with excessive caffeine consumption, or so I read on one of those 'beware of everything' websites. As long as you're not chugging energy drinks or doing multiple espresso shots, I think you'll be fine 😉

I was told your supposed to have no more than 200mg of caffeine a day. They say stay away from coffee, deli meats and pineapple. Google is pretty helpful but always double check with a doctor!
