Coffee really isn't that bad.....

Very early into my pregnancy I knew that I didn't want advice from everyone, who am I kidding....I didn't want advice from anyone.  I remember a few weeks into the pregnancy I mentioned to my sister about the cup of coffee I drank that morning.  Let me just say, she wigged out!!!  She told me that I was going to loose the baby and to call the doctor right away to let him know what the issue is.  Needless to say, I called the doctor and my doctor who is not only the most wonderful doctor in the WHOLE world, he is also a high risk doctor and VERY conservative...he said, "don't worry about drinking coffee, it is a myth that coffee can make you miscarry", he did however caution me that later in pregnancy the coffee could speed up the baby's heart beet and if that happens he would restrict all caffeine.  That didn't happen and I happily drank a cup of coffee every morning.
