I drink like one ice coffee a day. I recently read that caffeine in small amounts is not harmful for the fetus. . . but how do I know if this amount is small enough? Should I quit my ice coffee habit? Or is it ok?
i dont have actual stats, but i do know that small amounts of caffeine are fine during pregnancy. and if your a huge coffee drinker like i was, quiting cold turkey could be worse on your body.
i dont think you should worry about one cup a day, but have you ever tried decaf instead??? it really does taste the same, but if your a coffee fiend, you may end up with headaches like i did
Thanks for the replies. . . I guess I could switch to decaf I don't think it would really bother me too much. And. . .yea I can't stand hot coffee either, only iced coffee. I crave really cold stuff. . . it's weird.
most coffe shops will do a half-caff if you ask for it. It's just regular coffee mixed with decaf coffee. might be a good idea to step it down slowly if you're a regular coffee drinker.
when i was pregnant,i asked my doctor and he said limit my caffein intake to one cup a day,and i am a CAFFEIN FREAK so every morning i had my french vanilla hot coffe!!!cant go one day without it...lol but anyway,you should be fine just limit it to one cup a day and everything will be fine!

I drank coffee and tea throughout both of my pregnancies... and my babies came out okay... a little hyper (LOL)... but okay. You shouldn't have to worry. It's not like you're drinking alcohol or anything... and I imagine that iced coffee is probably more diluted that regular. ;)
I switched from a few cups of regular coffee a day to iced coffee during my pregnancy. The smell of regular coffee is the one thing that never failed to make me vomit all over, and iced coffee was much more soothing for the tummy and with no smell. Most iced coffees use a shot of espresso, but as long as you don't have tons a day, I'm sure one a day is fine. I continued having one a day my entire pregnancy, and I was just fine, iced was better for me because it was mostly soy milk anyways.
As long as it is not the super jumbo size you should be okay. I think up to a couple sodas a day is safe. Maybe someone else has better info.

lucky you to be able to stomach coffee while pregnant! i am a huge coffee drinker but when i'm pregnant the smell of it makes me sick. :(
if you're not hooked on the caffiene you could always switch to decaf. i love my decaf.
My doctor said limit myself to only 1 cup of any caffeine a day if I dont feel I can cut out the caffeine. Just dont over access the coffe ya know.
