Was just advice from my doc to me (1st trimester) when I replaced coffee for it :)." Some of the star's other followers assured her that she could drink coffee, as long as she limited her intake, as one commented: "You can still drink coffee :) just a limited amount!" Another person said: "I drank coffee through all three pregnancies as long as you're not having like 10 cups a day it’s fine."
