I don't think there is an issue with a cup or two of coffee, but I don't think you want a 8 cup-a-day habit.

Do I have to give up caffeine now that I'm pregnant?
Not necessarily. You can still enjoy your favourite caffeinated drinks as long as you don't overdo it. Guidelines issued by the Food Standards Agency in October 2001 suggest that women have no more than 300mg of caffeine a day while pregnant. This is equivalent to three mugs of instant coffee or six cups of tea or eight cans of cola per day. Although moderate amounts of caffeine are unlikely to harm you or your unborn baby, some women choose to cut out caffeine completely.
