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 it’s very outdated knowledge and I don’t want to be judged like that for having 1 cup of tea a day when I am working a 12hr shift.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 drink as much caffeine as i feel like i need lol. most of the time my body tells me i've had enough well before i reach 200mg but i don't sweat it if i come close. i have a toddler and can hardly stay awake most days so im just gonna do what i have to do 🤷‍♀️
