I dont think its bad at all, but in moderation. I dont think its wise to, lets say drink 3 or 4 cups of strong brew daily when pregnant, try and just drink 1 cup. Some de-caf coffees are good though, teas too.

I try to stay away from caffeine during my pregnancy. I think if you don't over-do it, you'll be okay. But you might want to try to wean yourself off - little by little. Just check with your dr & what he/she recommends:)

Caffiene can increase risk of miscariage. I would try to limit the amount of caffiene you drink. Its hard to give up so many things while you are pregnant, but it will be worth it! Good luck to you!

In the book what to expect while expecting
it says its okay to drink caffeine in moderation 1-2 cups a day type thing, I asked dr and he said you would be surprized how often we ingest caffeine without knowing but he gave okay (i dont drink coffee but I do tea.)
anyways he explained to me chocolate has caffeine, hot chocolate any soft drink that is dark brown in color, tea and some cuisines contain caffeine in their cooking. Its up to the mom whether you want to or not but most books on pregnancy give the okay as well as drs, if you drink caffeine you will feel the baby go into a kickboxing ring with your stomach lol!!
