just coffee caffeine with a conscience

For some people caffeine does raise BG (caffeine is a stimulant). For others it does not raise BG. only way to tell is to test. Test before... drink... test after. if BG higher after than for you yes. HOWEVER do NOT do the test in the morning as you may have DP (Dawn Phenomenon) and that can sque the results of any testing in the morning.

My doc said up to 200mg on caffeine a day is considered safe. That's a large coffee from Tim Horton's. I would check the nutrional info at Starbucks to see the caffeine amount and then decide. I'm sure one won't hurt at any rate. I drink coffee most days and haven't had any issues. I actually just stopped because it's giving me heartburn.

Will me drinking a can of pop with caffeine in it affect anything? I just get so nervous about everything.

Hey ladies. Just had a 6 oz cup of folgers colombian medium-dark coffee. 2 teaspoons of the coffee i put in my keurig because i dont like it too strong.i dont drink a lot of coffee anymoreso i was just wondering if my baby girl will be ok :) i know were allowed 200 mg of caffeine but because of the roast i was hoping im in the clear still.

Omg girl I feel you that's exactly wat I crave I am not a fan of coffee or soda but with this pregnancy I have to drink a coffee everyday and if I don't drink it I start vomitin or i get a bad head ache

I drink a cup a day, it was a huge adjustment for me going from 5-6 cups a day to 1. Caffeine withdrawal was horrible!

I was religious about avoiding caffeine while pregnant with my daughter. This time I have a Dr pepper a few times a week.

I cut out daily coffee completely, only indulging in a small iced coffee or frappe every blue moon. Coke on the other hand was so much harder. I try to limit myself to a glass a few times a week. It makes the baby very active.

I frigging love love my pumpkin spice coffee small in the morning ... but here's the thing a lot of people say it's a nono nooo caffeine allowed but others say that you can have but limit yourself have it once a day small cup .... What do you guys think ... should I just stop and p.s I hate the decaf ....

i used to drink a glass or two of pepsi a day and one small coffee when i was pregnant with my daughter and all was well..she was perfectly healthy....if anything i think it probably just gives them a spurt of energy..

and can help with things down the road like headaches and constipation. 32 wks ftm and ive enjoy a coffee or tea once a day. caffeine also helps regulate your blood sugars... its just like anything with pregnancy if there is even a 1% chance it can lead to or cause concern for your pregnancy they say don't do it. every pregnant women i know has coffee.

I was told 200-300mg of caffeine a day is safe. I am a huge coffee lover but ever since I became pregnant it turns my stomach so I have switched to ice tea.

Ive never heard of long term affects a safe amount of caffeine has on the baby. I drink either a coffee, or once a week a pop instead. This is my third pregnancy to do this. I just steer clear of mountain dew cause it has higher caffeine and i only have one or sometimes two regular sized cups of coffee a day.

Yes coffee has a lot more caffeine than soda. I just don't like soda because of the sugar..

My OB told me 200mg of coffee a day is perfectly fine. She reminded me that chocolate and a lot of other foods have caffeine and that it's fine to have some. She even encouraged it if my headaches continue.

I drink anywhere from 1-2 cups if I really want another I drink decaf.

I was just curious if it's OK to have at least one caffeine drink a day? I'm a ftm and I will be 33 weeks tomorrow.

Yes its ok,we are allowed up to between 200/300mg of caffeine a day..

Does anyone have a problem with drinking caffeine? I want soda or coffee more than ever sinc3 I've been pregnant. I'm 29 weeks. Have you known a pregnant woman to have complications with pregnancy due to drinking a lot of caffeine?

then today I have a cup and half of regular coffee...then a rootbeer...which has no caffeine...not a big fan of the h20.....I hate the water here...I do the bottled....summer time is my big water time.....anyways today was a better day for me...took me awhile to get up but today was better......

I have a cup of coffee in the morning.

Actually, studies show those who have fatty liver benefit from caffeine. Coffee caffeine consumption is associated with a significant reduction in risk of fibrosis among NASH patients. Drinking coffee may help prevent diabetes as caffeine may be the ingredient largely responsible for this effect. Looks like you will be changing doctors. I'd discuss it with your new doctor but would not avoid caffeine in the interim unless of course there is a medical reason for it.

Im a huge coffee drinker as well. My doctor said 4 cups were fine 2 in the morning and another two thru out the rest of the day. My baby boy is healthy and big already.

m struggling with at the moment is around 1pm at work with the sudden realisation of how tired I am. This is where I have a real cup of instant coffee to keep me going. Good luck!!!

Its actually not about how much coffee as much as about caffeine levels :) just ask your dr how much is too much caffeine.

Lol well your suppose to only have a specific amount of caffeine a day, the doctor says a couple cups of coffee is fine. Personally, I didnt drink any sodas with caffeine in it. And I stopped drinking coffee cold turkey. BUT, once I got into my third trimester I started drinking a half a cup of coffee in the morning cause I missed my mornings where I drank my morning coffees lol. So half a cup a day for me.
