Use pregnancy-specific medical guidance
If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, discuss coffee and caffeine with the clinician responsible for your care. ACOG publishes patient guidance on this topic. This page does not set a personal allowance, establish that a drink is safe for you or replace advice based on your circumstances.
Bring a description of your usual routine
Write down the drinks and serving sizes you normally have and the other caffeine-containing products you want to ask about. Use the product information where available. A cup description, roast name or brew ratio alone does not establish a measured caffeine amount. Ask your clinician which information they need.
Leave with a clear answer for your situation
Ask how the guidance applies to your usual drinks and whether there are other questions to resolve. Keep the answer with your own appropriate care records. Use your pregnancy care team for decisions about your circumstances, and return to the original ACOG patient resource when you want to read its general guidance.
