I have a MDR of caffeine. When I was pregnant (eons ago, she's 32) I eliminated all caffeine and was miserable. Tea? A pleasant beverage but not enough caffeine! Doc said one cup of real coffee a day was fine and that's really all I needed.

I am not sure I agree with you on this one. 3Hotdogs Jul 2018 #11
