Sponsor sweetpea333 07-14-2005, 08:00 PM from what i read you can have up to 3 cups of coffee a day, i hate coffee but i love chocolate, ate it for my last pregnancy and this pregnancy CUtigress 07-14-2005, 08:27 PM I don't like what caffeine does to the body so I never had coffee or any sodas throughout my pregnancy (but I didn't drink those beforehand). However, I did get some serious chocolate cravings and succumbed to them sometimes. The caffeine levels in chocolate are minimal compared to coffee; I think I read that it takes 10 Hershey's Chocolate bars to equal the caffeine in 1 cup of coffee. InDueTime05 07-14-2005, 10:37 PM Oh man I drank coffee and coke and chocolate was my favorite food!! My DS AND my DD are very healthy and I did it both times. Kiera1595 07-15-2005, 06:40 AM I ate chocolate everyday! I normally love coffee. But both times I was preggers it made me sick. LynnDewald1 07-15-2005, 09:36 AM I ate chocolate every day. Didn't drink coffee though. Gained 50 lbs thru my preg and had a 9 lb baby lol. He's healthy tho ~PJ~ 07-15-2005, 05:14 PM I had a chocolate bar every single day!!! LOL I didn't drink a lot of coffee but still drank loads of tea :D Ralinda30 07-15-2005, 06:48 PM Not much chocolate, but boy did a drink a bunch of coke's...I gave up cigarette's but I couldn't stop the caffeine....My child was just fine....Ralinda besafe20 07-16-2005, 03:07 PM I know that you shouldn't drink coffee while your pregnant. I have heard one cup a day is ok but why even do it if you can go without it. Ocassionaly I would enjoy a soda with caffeine. I had morning sickness past the first trimester and it settled my stomach. But even then I only had a few the entire time I was pregnant, better safe than sorry. worried_mommy 07-16-2005, 05:13 PM I had a cup of coffee every morning, but whenever I didn't NEED to finnish it I didn't, I'd only drink 1/2 or so most days. Like Besafe said, it may not hurt, but better safe than sorry. |
