^ You are really not one to talk.
It's actually far worse to endure a headache than to treat it while pregnant. You can cause learning disabilities by not treating illnesses. Smarten up before you go waving your finger around at everyone. Oh and those that are pasting 'studies'... Please paste an actual study not one you googled.
Excuse me, I thought you should know that the aroma is not from the caffein.
I agree. No need to be uptight. Also I have learnt from my first baby to respect yourself by putting yourself first and your kid will too. That means being healthy and taking care of yourself but not being a complete freak about it. You should do the best for your baby but putting the baby through withdrawal headaches isn't healthy. It does more harm than a cup of coffee a day.
My nurse says stay under 300mg of caffeine per day.
As far as the chemicals...
Look for def that used Swiss Water Process or Mountain Water Process - no chemicals involved. I just ordered from Stumptown... I saw a lot of good reviews about their decaf.... and no chemicals involved.
