re: ughh!!! i just want ONE CUP!

This is my 3rd been told each time that 8oz of caffeine a dayis fine

Quoting MommyToWesley:" As long as you are having less than 200 mg of caffeine a day you are fine (unless you have a very high risk for premature labor). One cup of caffeine has like 100 mg or something like that."

at starbucks a cup of DARK bold coffee only has about 75mg, the light blonde roaste can have up to 150.
one shot of espresso has 75mg...

OP i work at starbucks and through out my pregnancies i had a at least 2-3 shots of espresso almost everyday.. some days id drink 2 caffenated shots and 3 decaf shots so i got more coffee flavor..

my manager told me she was drinking quad shots daily.. she never had issues... drinking a Smurf TON could have some side effects... but a cup or 2 isnt gonna do anything.

coffee is only a nono during pregnancy if u are dehydrated or have low fluid level. as long as u are drinking plenty of water daily , coffee can actually be benificial to your health and help u stay alert and be less clumbsy. your dr is obviosly ''old school'' and not up on current research. get yourself a dang cup of coffee.

I feel your pain and I'm only 13 weeks. I need caffeine to have enough energy to get everything done. I feel so sleepy and unmotivated I try to only have caffeine 3 days a week and its rough!

Whoops, i hit post on accident with out replying but that's the thing it wasn't my Dr that told us not to drink coffee it was a medical assistant who said it! :/ thank you ladies for your input.

i drank atleast 2-3 cups of coffee daily through out all my pregnancies except the last trimester of my 4th (because i had low fluid levels)....all my babies came out healthy !

at the end I drank coffee everyday

ive3 worked sbux for 6 years. its embedded in my brain..

Quoting j.val2:" All i want more than anything right now is one little cup of coffee, I'm exhausted!!! I hardly get any ... [snip!] ... our coffee just to make sure I'm not tempted... But to be honest I'm dying here... I just want one cup! Is that really so bad??"

They say one cup a day is ok. I would just take a trip to a coffee shop or gas station and get one!

My dr told me to drink coffee to help with my headaches....he said a cup a day wont hurt anything. To hell if my SO would be keeping me from that.

My doctor told me one cup (8 oz) is fine. Don't make yourself suffer- if you want it, get a cup.

I've been craving coffee like crazy.. Coffee with the new holiday creamers or the cold Starbucks coffee in the jar... Mmm! I am 26 weeks I haven't had a coffee for a few weeks but I do drink a medium sized coffee every once in awhile from the gas station. Or I'll mix hot chocolate with a cappachino. One cup is just fine though, it isn't going to hurt anything.
