Pregnant & Craving Coffee? What You Need to Know About Caffeine
🍼 Pregnant & Craving Coffee?
Here’s What You Need to Know About Caffeine (and How to Keep Your Fix Safe)
If you're pregnant and still dreaming about that perfect morning cup, you're not alone. One of the first things many moms-to-be ask is:
“Can I still drink coffee?”
Short answer: Yes—but with some modifications.
Long answer: Keep reading, Mama. ☕
☕ So... Is Coffee Safe During Pregnancy?
In moderation, yes! According to organizations like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), it's generally considered safe for pregnant people to consume up to 200mg of caffeine per day—that’s about one 12-ounce cup of regular coffee.
But let’s be real: not all coffee is created equal, and not all moms want to walk that fine line every day.
🤰 Why Limit Caffeine?
Caffeine crosses the placenta, and babies can't break it down as quickly as we can. Too much caffeine during pregnancy may be linked to risks like low birth weight or sleep disruption (for both of you!). That’s why many mamas choose to cut back—or go caffeine-free altogether.
And of course, if you’re sensitive to caffeine outside of pregnancy, those jitters can feel even more intense when you're growing a human.
💧 Enter: Decaf That Doesn’t Disappoint
Not all decaf is created equal either.
Some decaf coffees are processed with chemical solvents (like methylene chloride or ethyl acetate), which can be a red flag for expecting moms.
That’s why we use only Swiss Water Processed decaf for our Mommy’s Night Off blend. This method uses water, time, and temperature—no chemicals ever—to remove 99.9% of the caffeine while preserving the flavor.
Because you shouldn’t have to choose between what’s safe and what actually tastes good.
💡 Your Fix, Your Way
Whether you’re going full decaf, dialing it down with half-caff, or sticking to your one full cup a day, we’ve got a blend to match your mood and your trimester:
☕ Survival Blend (Full Caff): For mornings when you're still in denial
💛 Mommy’s Little Helper (Half Caff): For a gentle energy boost
🌙 Mommy’s Night Off (Decaf): For cozy evenings and peace of mind
💬 Final Sip: You Do You, Mama
Every pregnancy is different, and you know your body best. As always, talk to your healthcare provider if you're unsure about your caffeine intake—but know this: it’s okay to still love coffee.
You just might need to tweak your fix a little.
And when you do, we’ll be right here—brewing something just for you. 💛
