Is it ok to drink just one cup of coffee in the 1st trimester of pregnancy? i'm a preschool teacher and i need my coffee

1 cup?: If you are asking 1 cup in your entire firs trimester, you are ok. If you are asking 1 cup daily during your first trimester, now you are pushing the envelope. Basically, the concern is the caffeine, and 1 cup a day is between 100-150 mg of caffeine daily.So would you take a tablet of no-doz every day while you are in your first trimester? Likely not . Try decaf or half strength- keep <100mg daily.
