Questions for Your OB

Your doctor may have strong opinions about the use of caffeine found in coffee, soft drinks, and chocolate (yes, chocolate). If you are one who must have her latte every morning, this may be a shock to the system to give up caffeinated drinks. If you are a cola-with-meals woman, this question should be one you ask on that very first visit. Don't be surprised if you have religiously cut out all caffeine during your pregnancy only to be confronted with a 9-month-pregnant soon-to-be mom toting her bottle of Pepsi to the birthing seminar at the hospital.
