Im a total coffee person and now im 8 weeks pregnant. Trying to cut down but mujhe ek cup toh chahiye morning mein. How much is actually safe in a day?
You can have a light cup of coffee, but try replacing it sometimes with warm milk or ginger tea. If you feel severe acidity or sleeplessness, it's best to stop it. Always check with your gynac if you are unsure.
Limit yourself to just one small cup of instant coffee a day, which is under the 200mg caffeine limit. Making it at home is way cheaper than buying expensive decaf or Starbucks anyway. Plus, it keeps both health and budget in check.
If you feel like having coffee, have a little cup with a happy heart. Just avoid excess as it can make you restless. Keep a positive mind and eat wholesome foods.
Since my IVF process was so delicate, I completely avoided caffeine in the first trimester to be absolutely safe. Later, my doctor allowed one very light cup. If you love coffee, just speak to your clinic for peace of mind.
One cup of coffee is absolutely fine, just keep it under 200mg of caffeine daily. I couldn't survive my corporate mornings without my daily brew. Just don't drink multiple double shots, okay?
