I have had cravings for Jarrah Cappuccino (I'm not even a coffee drinker) I drink about 3 - 4 cups a day but I have it with half milk. Was just wondering if this was too much to have and whether it can effect the baby?
I've heard that you can have a couple of caffeinated drinks per day. I'd be more worried about the artificial sugar in it (if it uses it that is). I stayed away from their hot chocolates cos of the phenylelanine in it.
You can have up to 300mgs of caffeine per day. I think the amount in an espresso coffee is about 150mg and instant is about 80mgs where as a cup of hot chocolate is only 10mgs. Ive known people to eat a block of chocolate at a time while pregnant and their babies turned out fine. I think the main stress is more during the first trimester as caffeine can be linked to miscarriage. I think youd be fine with what youre having.
Hey Tanya,
In my book it says 30g of milk chocolate = 5mg caffeine and 30g of dark chocolate = 20mg so a 250g.. So a block of milk is about 42mg of caffeine and dark is about 167mgs? Go for it eat the whole block!
