I was told that 2 or less cups of caffeine a day was ok, but now I'm reading studies have shown there is a greater miscarriage risk than they thought...I'm curious to find out more so when I decide to have another baby, I'm not doing the wrong thing by having my momrning and afternoon cups of Joe.

I didn't drink coffee when I was pregnant but I did drink one can of soda a day.

I drank alot of decaf when I was pregnant and even that was hardly ever. I did drink ALOT of pop when I was pregnant though,

The smell and taste of coffee made me almost gag until my 3rd trimester. At that point I started to have one or two cups a day, filled half way with milk.

I never had the taste for coffee myself, but I know that there is a cap that the docs say is safe up to. I don't know how many cups a day it translates to, but my doc told me 150 grams a day. A can of coke has 35. That is all I know.

I don't ever drink coffee anyway, but I did drink a little bit of regular soda while I was pregnant. I had no negative side effects from it.
