caffeine and pregnancy
Posted: 01-07-08 19:00pm

so i've been reading everywhere that you shouldn't drink caffeine while pregnant..

does that mean Sweet Tea is dangerous too? Sad that sucks, it's all i drink.

ok, another one, i'm gonna sound like a dummy, but you guys just reassure me that i'm not freaking out for nothing...

my last period started on dec 16, 2007. my cycle is usually 21-24 days. tomorrow will be the 24th day, and i don't feel pms-y except light cramping and tender boobs. it's very rare that i get my period after the 22nd day. i've got a dollar store test waiting for me in my sock drawer, i'm gonna do it tomorrow morning cause that's when your pee is most "potent" lol. i have a reason to feel the need to take that test though, right?

Have you been having unprotected sex? If so, then test for sure! Waiting until morning is a good idea. If it comes out negative and you still don't get your period, wait a few days and test again

How old are you? Do you want a baby yet? If not, you should really get on birth control pills if you aren't pregnant.

Caffeine isn't bad for you in moderate amounts during pregnancy. You can have about 1-2 cups of regular coffee a day. The only thing I'd worry about is having it effect your sleep. Things tend to get exaggerated by pregnancy hormones, so make sure if you need your daily cup, you get it in before noon.

so i didn't get to take the test this morning, i had to take the bro to school and go grocery shopping. i took it at like 5:30 pm... and i wiped when i was done, and there was light pink blood. i was like, "okay there's your anwser.. a negative test and blood". i put a pad on and went to watch tv.. and i just now went to the bathroom, and no more blood is coming out... maybe the dollar store test wasn't good? get an expensive one?

dollar store tests are just as effective as any expensive test. it doesnbt matter how much it cost.
