I cut back on my coffee the 1st trimester, but now I am back to drinking close to the amount I drank before pregnancy. I drink 2 cups or so in the morning, then have some in the afternoon as well. I am going to cut back again towards the end of my pregnancy so I do not have an infant going through caffiene withdrawals. Plus with everything being smooshed at the end I don`t imagine I am going to want so much fliud in my tummy.

My OB said it is perfectly fine to drink up to 2 cans of coke for example a day while prego. He also told me if you have headaches Diet Coke taken with an asidominophen can help relive it faster. I tried it and it worked :D

I switched to Decaf coffee during my pregnancy and nursing.. it sucked especially when you REALLY need that pick-me-up.. lol. I just found out I`m pregnant again so I`ll be making that switch again. Even not being pregnant I don`t drink soda`s so that was never a problem.. just coffee. I am very cautious about everything I drink and eat while I`m pregnant.. probably because I`ve experienced a m/c before and I blamed myself.. I`d just rather be safe than sorry and know that I did everything I could to keep my baby healthy.

I see no problem with a can of coke a day...and I LOVE chocolate. I will not drink things like Vault (my favorite!) or Mt Dew because of all the sugar and higher caffeine count but there is nothing wrong with caffeine in moderation.

I miss coffee. I have a soda once and awhile, but I mostly stay away from it

I cut back from 3cups of coffee to 1 or 2 cups a day, but I didn`t cut back on pop or chocolate or anything else with caffeine. I didn`t have much of the other things to begin with though :) My dr always told me `everthing in moderation`
