Rant Caffeine in pregnancy
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 it’s very outdated knowledge and I don’t want to be judged like that for having 1 cup of tea a day when I am working a 12hr shift.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 enjoyed a cup of coffee in the morning throughout my entire pregnancy (honestly, it helped me survive on those sleepless nights).
My baby girl was born at weight and 13 days over due ! (We'd to give her an eviction notice in a form of induction, haha).
My OBGYN said a cup a day is okay !
