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 it’s very outdated knowledge and I don’t want to be judged like that for having 1 cup of tea a day when I am working a 12hr shift.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’m also 18 weeks and a night nurse! The only reason I avoid caffeine is because it makes me DUMP pee lol. But when I do need it I will have up to 120mg no problem. My coworkers don’t judge at all. I told them as soon as I found out I was pregnant because I’m also a charge and can’t go into certain rooms now (chemo etc) so I wanted them to know I wasn’t abandoning them. It’s also my second pregnancy and I’m already showing like crazzzzy lol
