I have read that the studies they did that showed caffiene had terrogenic effects was baseless. It was done on pregnant rats whose fetuses were far more susceptible to the effects of caffiene and they were given the equivalent of a human drinking 60 to 70 cups of coffee per day. I think you will be fine, I drank coffee through both my pregnancies and my kids are perfectly healthy.
