Im such a coffee person and i miss my morning cup so much. Now im 8 weeks and scared to drink it. Is one cup a day theek hai or should i fully stop? Tell me what your docs said.
I am in my third trimester and honestly, my single cup of morning coffee is the only thing keeping me awake! I strictly keep it to one small cup, otherwise the baby starts doing gymnastics in my belly.
Honestly, I couldn't even stand the smell of coffee due to my severe morning sickness! But my doctor said if you really want it, limit it to just one small cup a day. Too much caffeine can make acidity worse too.
According to my pregnancy tracker, you should limit caffeine to under 200 mg per day. That's about one mug of instant coffee. Make sure you count the caffeine in tea and chocolates too!
Actually, you can have one small cup of coffee daily, yaar. I couldn't survive my office hours without it! Just don't overdo it, and try to avoid heavy milk coffee late in the evening.
It is always best to ask your gynecologist about your daily caffeine intake. Some doctors advise completely avoiding it in the first trimester. Your doctor knows your health best, so do check with them.
