Hey, saw some people mention green tea. I have read it can be really bad for pregnancy and can cause early miscairages. So I would suggest sticking to herbal or black teas only when TTC.

I have read some stuff about green tea being good. So I am not sure ... I think regular or coffee and any kind of tea bought in a grocery store / mass marketed with ingredients labeled... Is fine in moderation. I just look up caffeine content even Snapple has some and keep it under 100mg. There are so many hundreds of variables with IF I think it's ok to do whatever if you stick to your clinic / routine healthy pregnancy guidelines and don't stress too much. :)

I agree with the ladies that have suggested "everything in moderation." That said, after reading your post, I have become more conscious of how much caffeine I'm consuming in a day. I used to start my morning with one, and end up having another by 10am, and then need another by 3 just to make it through my afternoon. Some days I'd have an energy drink just to finish off my day.

I've cut out caffeine almost completely this week and come to think of it I don't think I've had a single coffee! I've replaced my need for coffee with another hot beverage - hot apple cider, hot chocolate, and ginger or blueberry white tea!

Good luck!

I went cold turkey. Hot chocolate has as much caffeine as decaf coffee. My doc said he was less worried about alcohol than coffee! I read keep it to less than 200 mg per day
