Hot chocolate

Hi mommatobe's!
There have been mixed reviews on the net...I know large amounts of chocolate is not good for caffeine levels for our little ones, but how do you guys see / feel about a cup of hot chocolate every few days? I really feel that it is pretty innocent, but I'd love to hear everyone else's thoughts! :

I think you're just fine. But I'm also fine with a cup of coffee every day.

Way overthinking this. Hot Chocolate has very little caffeine in it. Drink it.

I drink a cup or half a cup of hot chocolate every morning. I just need something warm to get myself kick started. I never was much of a coffee drinker but I drank a lot of hot tea. I've pretty much gone cold turkey on most caffeine (I never drank pop anyway, so tea was my only caffeine vice) with the exception of chocolate.

Hot chocolate is fine. You can still have caffiene while pregnant and hot chocolate isn't loaded with it.

Hot chocolate is fine.  I think most ob's say to keep it under 200 mg of caffiene.
