Since I had thyroid issues, my hormone levels were already sensitive, so my doctor told me to limit coffee to just one small cup and monitor how I felt. Make sure you check with your doctor during your regular blood tests.
Caffeine can affect the baby's growth, so I would highly recommend asking your gynac directly before drinking any coffee. Everyone's body is different, so it's always safer to let your doctor decide the limit.
My doctor said that up to 200 mg of caffeine daily is safe, which equals about one mug of instant coffee. Excess caffeine can cross the placenta and affect the baby's heart rate, so it's best to stick to that limit strictly.
Ek chota cup toh chalta hai yaar, par zyada mat peena na. Caffeine baby ke liye accha nahi hota early weeks me, toh control karna seekho aur milk coffee hi piyo.
I know how hard it is to give up your favorite coffee, especially when you are already feeling so exhausted and anxious. In early pregnancy, keeping it to under one cup a day is generally safe, but if it increases your heart rate or anxiety, it's totally okay to skip it.
I am no expert, but during my first trimester, I completely lost my taste for coffee anyway due to nausea. When I did crave it occasionally, I just had half a cup of instant coffee and felt completely fine.
Look, one small cup is fine but don't go having multiple mugs of strong espresso. Remember that tea, chocolate, and cold drinks also have caffeine, so count everything together.
Beta, it is best to avoid too much coffee during early months as it is hot for the body. If you feel like having it, just drink one small cup of light milk coffee a day, not more than that.
My saas strictly told me to avoid coffee because it causes heat, but I used to sneakily drink a very weak cup of filter coffee sometimes. Just keep the quantity very less to be safe.
