Caffeine during 2ww?

[dcrunnergirl]

I'm sorry for your losses.

I'm in the 2WW and just finished a cup of coffee. I think it's fine as long as it's in moderation. Heck, when I was on hospital bedrest, they brought me a cup of coffee every morning and a diet coke with lunch and dinner if I ordered it, so I figure it's not that bad.

I drank coffee my entire pregnancy. I just drank less.

Sorry about yours losses

Sorry about your losses. One cup of coffee should be fine, but it's up to you.

Sorry about your losses. I stop drinking coffee/caffeine as soon as I was knocked up. Not sure why. It's fine in small amounts.

I am sorry about your losses. I don't drink caffeine but I drank some alcohol during the 2ww. I know it is hard, but I am sure nothing you did caused your losses.

so sorry for your losses.

I drink caffeine every day and I'm 6 months pregnant. I just stay under the 200mg/day recommended limit.

My OB said not to send my body into shock and to just cut back, not actually quit using coffee... but I drink 2 pots a day on average.

I'm sorry for your losses. Kaiser actually came out with a study in 2008 saying that women who drink more than 200mg (2 cups of coffee per day) have twice the risk of miscarriage. I cut myself down to 1 cup per day during the 2 week wait to stay under this. Once I was out of my 1st trimester I occassionally let myself have a second cup of coffee during the day.

I drank soda every day throughout both pregnancies (OK'ed by OB).

ETA: You don't share blood with a fetus until about 6 weeks, so what you drink should not have any effect during the 2ww.

I'm sorry for your losses.

After I had two losses, too, I went to an acupuncturist who made dietary recommendations, and one of them was no caffeine. So, I was generally off caffeine that cycle. I don't really attribute anything to the specific caffeine recommendation, though, because I wasn't ever drinking enough of it previously to cause any problems--just one or two cups of coffee/sodas per day.

Now I have it a few times a week.

I kept living like there was nothing going on in there until I got the BFP. Then I only drank one cup of coffee (or one soda) a day until I was able to get to BB&B for some decaf for the Keurig.

I'm sorry for your losses.
