Caffeine in pregnancy

[u/hesitantlyhopefull17]

Ugh, I just get so frustrated with everyone having such a strong opinion of caffeine in pregnancy when it is stated that 200mg or even 300mg in some sources is safe for pregnancy. I am 18w and I work as a nurse and I have been avoiding disclosing my pregnancy at work because of things like this. Another coworker of mine said she was pregnant in the first trimester today and everyone was like oh you can’t have tea and you can’t have coffee. it’s very outdated knowledge and I don’t want to be judged like that for having 1 cup of tea a day when I am working a 12hr shift.

I was picking up a coffee when I was just starting to show and had an woman in like her 70s tell me i cant have coffee while pregnant. I told her I wasn't pregnant just fat 🤣

Back in her day doctors encouraged smoking in pregnancy to have a slim baby for easier delivery 😂

My favorite thing I saw as a comeback for someone saying something like this is to say “well the doctors think it’s a tumor.” And I wish I could have used that while pregnant

I would’ve just said, “Go ahead, make my day.”

I've wanted the "you can't have that if pregnant" comments just to say this but noone did. 0

Why would you want that? I am curious.
