It can cause low birth weight or even miscarriage so it is advised that you only have 200mg which is 2 mugs of coffee or 4 cups of tea 5 cans of coke or 4 bars of plain chocolate or 8 milk chocolate bars

Caffeine levels used to be higher, advised level was set at 400mg when I had my daughter in 2007 and she turned out fine and she was a healthy 8lb er! I still continued to drink tea, but tbh I probably only had a couple of cups a day. I find that it settles my stomach during pregancy and seemed to keep the sickness to a minimum. I have been drinking decaf tea this time around, but I do have coca cola and the occasional chocolate.

I used to be a complete caffeine junkie - at least 12 cups of coffee a day!! So got incredibly bad withdrawal symptoms when I gave up!
But now on decaf full time and feel so much better for it, plus no guilt for LO
