Try swicthing to decaf. I gave up my coffee and cokes to cut off my caffeine in take, although if you are pregnant it is recommended to be under 200mg a day, which is considered about one 8 oz cup. My 2 1/2 yr old occassionally has a sip, but she knows coffee is for Mommy and Daddy. My aunt had once told me that coffee has the opposite effect on kids. She claims 1/4 cup can be calming as a treat. I don't know if that works because I prefer her not to have it.

I love my coffee as well and switched to decaf, but occassionally at work if I was having a bad day I would fill my coffee cup half way and just take little sips to make it last.

shouldn't you be more worried about going to high school and how you and your boyfriend are going to support twins at 17 rather than pretending to be an adult with something as petty as coffee problems?

I LOVE coffee also! I switched to decaf while I was pregnant. It's the caffeine that's bad so decaf is perfect. It is a little hard to give up caffeine at first but just think about doing what is best for your little one and it makes it much easier.

i drank 2 cups of coffee a day while prego, it helped with the constipation. you don't need to eliminate it completely, just cut back. my doc told me no more than 2 cups a day, and nothing else with caffeine.

Most of our mothers drank coffe when they were pregnant with us I know mine did and hey I turned out allright.  I drank sodas with my first child and probably will with this one.  If you are that concerned with the miscarrige then avoid it. all and all though it depends on each mother and their pregnancy situation. Plus just because you drink it doesn't mean they will be addicted to it that has to do with what you teach them after birth.

My second pregnancy craving were those bottled frappacino's. I had to have them. When my first son was diagnosed with asthma, we were told a small amout of black coffee could actually help him. It's all about moderation.

during my first pregnancy i could not stand the smell of coffee but loved the tast of the bottled frappacino's. it is not that you have to cut coffee out of your diet it is just safer for the baby if you cut back on the caffine.
