I'm a regular coffee drinker, and now that I'm pregnant, I'm confused about whether I should continue. Is it safe to drink coffee during pregnancy, or should I completely stop it? How much is too much?
Yaar, without my morning coffee I would have completely lost my mind! Honestly you can have it but limit it to one small cup a day. Just don't go drinking mugs after mugs, okay?
When I had my appointments at Max Hospital, the nutritionist clearly gave me a chart. They said one mug of light coffee (under 200mg caffeine) is perfectly fine. You should ask your hospital dietician once to be absolutely sure for your case.
Haan na, initially I was also so confused about coffee. My mom said avoid it but doc said one small cup is fine. Ho na, we can't completely live without it, just drink it in moderation.
Yes you can, but keep a strict check on the caffeine. Limit it to maximum 1 cup daily. Actually, I switched to decaf in my second trimester just to be extra safe.
Please be very careful with coffee. Because I had some complications in my first trimester, my doctor strictly asked me to avoid all caffeine. Definitely consult your doctor before having it.
I would strongly suggest to check with your gynac first because everyone's body is different. Some doctors say complete no in first trimester, while others allow limited amounts. Better to ask your doctor in your next visit.
With twin babies on the way, I needed energy but doctor strictly said limit it to one light cup. I used to make it half-milk, half-decoction so I feel like I'm drinking a full cup, haha. Just keep the caffeine low, you will be fine.
Honestly, in this 3rd trimester, my body is so heavy and tired that only coffee keeps me moving. My doctor allowed one small cup in the morning, which is my daily lifeline right now. Just don't overdo it!
