Have I harmed my baby?

Can you not see how “I did it anyway and it was fine” doesn’t mean it’s ok? If I run across the motorway and I’m fine that doesn’t mean the next person isn’t going to get hit by a car.

@TaggieO well I ate stuff they say U can't and my baby is fine 🤔🤔 so clearly not enough research tbh I have 4 kids and they all fine so it's bullshit the only thing I say U must take is folic acid cos I was taking it but kept being sick so wasn't in my system and I gave birth to girl 21weeks and she had spina bifda and that was lack of folic acid. Sadly she died so that's the only advice I could give

No. The baby is fine

But the caffeine wont do much for your anxiety

They also had far higher rates of poor outcomes. Just because something is different to how it used to be doesn’t make it ridiculous.

@momofonex when I was pregnant I got the same fever chills and I used stronger pain killers and he's fine honestly don't worry

I drank fizzy pop through my pregnancy and my baby is 2weeks old and he's fine , they say all sorts U can't do this U can't do that ,wat U think they use to do in olding days. It's ridiculous

I wouldn't be too worried about the caffeine. Just be careful with paracetamol though, you are very close to the limit in 12 hours. No more than 8 in 24 hours.

This!
But OP get used to only being able to take plain paracetamol when feeling like crap. Solpadeine, Lemsip etc all say can't be taken in pregnancy

65MG not 65G. Each one is 0.065 of a gram, not 65 grams!

I used to have a double strength coffee and 3/4 cups of tea every day. I was very fit and healthy and exercised a lot in pregnancy. All fine.

What I don’t want you to do OP, with your history, is blame yourself were anything to happen. Because it won’t be you and it certainly won’t be this.

Easter Bank Holiday weekend 2006 - I went out drinking on the Friday night, Saturday afternoon/night and Sunday afternoon/night. I found out the following week I was pregnant with my first child.
Obviously not ideal but he is now 18 years old , 6'4 and working in engineering, no harm done.
Babies are born in all sorts of less than ideal circumstances and whilst it is great to minimise risk the odd slip up now and again isn't catastrophic, you maybe pregnant but you still have to live your life.

@momofonex It’s 65 milligrams per tablet, not Grammes- that’s nothing to worry about for one day
Think of all the mothers who love their espresso coffees - Italy and France - put your mind at rest ,phone your midwife, she will reassure you.

1 day of excess caffeine won't have done anything. Especially so earlier, the placenta isn't even fully formed yet and that how the caffeine would be getting to baby.

It surely can’t be 60 grammes (g) per tablet
That would be a phenomenal dose.

At this stage and for one day I doubt you've done any lasting damage. The effects of caffeine seem to be linked to poor growth and development over time. One day won't make a difference.

How on earth are you sleeping with that much caffiene in your system?

No way would it be 60 g ( grammes) per tablet- that’s almost two ounces per tablet and they would be physically massive -
That has been misread, surely?

I recall reading when I was pregnant that when it comes to caffeine and miscarriage (1) there isn't any clear evidence of a link and (2) where studies have shown higher risks of miscarriage, it's because most people's caffeine consumption is as a result of coffee drinking, and it's not necessarily that higher caffeine increases miscarriage risk, it's that women who can stomach drinking 4-5 cups of coffee in early pregnancy may have lower hCG levels and pregnancies that were already not viable.

Either way, I really wouldn't worry - I'm sure your baby will be totally fine.

I really think you will be fine. People do all kinds of things before they even realise they are pregnant.

I smoked for a few weeks before finding out about DD 😬
12 years later she's fine!

OP when you’re pregnant with no.2 and a small one running around you will doubtless exceed the daily caffeine limit just to survive the day. It’ll be fine.

I'm quite sure it won't have done any harm, I think persistent use over a pregnancy could to some extent but how many generations were fine with our mothers drinking several pots of coffee a day!

I would say cool it eith the stimulants if you're feeling so unwell though and try and rest/sleep if you can to give yourself a chance to heal. Early pregnancy feels awful enough as it is.

I didn't know I was pregnant until 10 weeks for one pregnancy and had about the same intake of coffee as that every day until I found out! Child is perfectly chilled and healthy. Guidelines will be much lower than the actual safe amount just so people don't push it too much.

Also I might be wrong but this early in pregnancy I thought baby not connected by placenta yet and still feeding off the yolk, so perhaps wouldn't have even been passed any caffeine anyway? (I'm definitely no expert so could be wrong)

As people have said drink plenty of water but your baby will be absolutely fine :)
