    Definitely coffee for me. Only time I havent had my morning coffee was when I had morning sickness. I only have 1 brewed and then hot choc after that so I can have a cup or 2 of tea in the evening. Much better than the average 7 a day coffees I used to have before TTC.

    I was a coffee LOVER before and when I was TTC. Strangely enough I haven't really had the desire to drink it while pregnant (saying that though I love my cuppa's but have changed to decaf.) Like the other ladies said in moderation 1-2 wouldn't cause to much of a drama I reckin.

    I definitely think that we stress too much about what a pregnant woman can and cannot have these days. If you look back centuries ago drinking tea was a common past time with women and tea was a lot more popular than coffee was back then (did they HAVE coffee back then?) but I swear they must have drank triple the amount of tea compared to how many coffees a woman would drink in 1 day nowadays.

    Anyway my point being they all seemed to have A LOT of children so really having 1 or 2 cups of coffee in a day probably wouldn't harm you or your unborn baby as much as professionals say it does.

    I personally can't drink that much of anything with caffeine anymore because it gives me reflux but I would probably still have at least 1 cup of tea a day even if I wasn't affected by it.

    Thanks girls, you have all been a great help... I have loved hearing all your opinions and experiences...
    I find out on the weekend if I am so I think I will switch to decaf if I am and only when and if I really need a coffee hit on days I just can't function I will have a real one... I will just ask for a weak one!

    thanks again girls!
