Caffiene??

[lmarszall]

Hi All,

I love my cups of tea and was wondering how much caffiene we are allowed. I find it hard to cut down and decaff doesn't do it for me!!

When i was pregnant first time round i was so careful with everything and stopped drinking tea and coffee and lost the baby anyway. With DS i was more relaxed about everything.

I generally have 4 cups of tea a day. Less if i'm not working.

Is this ok?

ta,

sounds good to me, there is a recomended amount but im pretty sure 4 cups is about it so wouldnt worry.

I think you can have up to 6 cuppas a day!

I used to love tea but I cant stand it at the moment! I never used to drink fizzy drinks but I am LOVING full fat coke (oh no!)

Didnt know if you knew Sally, coke has caffeine in too ...but i think you are allowed quite a bit under your 'daily allowance' level, I did find guidelines as to what things include caffeine and how much - i will have to hunt it out.

Regarding the coke thing - am i right in thinking that diet coke has caffeine in it as well? only coke zero that doesnt? hmm
so what soft drinks dont have that much in them? i went to nandos yesterday and i was stood by the drink machine for ages trying to think what had less caffeine, i eventually went for lemonade.

I think it is mainly coke and lucozade and energy drinks that have caffiene in them!
I doubt lemonade does! ?
I drink lucozade and coke still! Just ration it like I would if I drank tea still!

Both Diet Coke and Coke Zero have caffeine in them. I know because I've been craving coke myself even though I don't normally drink them. (Was reading these posts and at the mention of coke, I had to pour myself a glass!) You can get Caffeine Free Diet Coke though, which is what I've got. Comes in gold colour packaging.

I read recently its no more than 300mg a day and one cup of instant coffee is about 100mg roughly. I must admit before getting pregnant i used to drink about 6 cups a day but now iv managed to ween it down to 2/3 cups.
