Question

I'm 32 weeks along with baby girl number one... just looking for some answers on how terrible a cup of coffee in the morning really is? I'm guilty of having one here and there to wake me up, but I'm starting to feel guilty for it. Is it really all that bad?

Answer 1

Dont feel guilty! your allowed to have two cups a day!  

Answer 2

When I was pregnant my OB told me I could have 1 cup of caffeine per day if I wanted. I didn't but that is what he said.

Answer 3

Drinking coffee isn't the worst thing you could be doing. As long as it is really no more than one regular sized mug a day, you aren't doing any harm. I would feel more guilty about it if I were drinking coffee daily AND smoking cigarettes.

Just keep in mind that you don't want to over do it with the coffee because your baby is very well developed by now and caffeine isn't something you want your baby to have too much of.

Hope this helps!

Best wishes and congratulations!

Answer 4

Its not bad unless you drink 5 cups of coffee a day.  My doctor told me that a cup a day is fine.  If your drinking pop or anything though, I would cut that out.

Answer 5

No not at all. Coffee is just fine.
