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.
