Pregnant Jennifer Garner Seems to Drink a Lot of Coffee -- Is That Safe?

I love how Jennifer Garner looks like a real pregnant woman.  You know, the roly-poly kind who borrows her husband's ratty button-downs to schlump around town. I'm starting to wonder, however, whether there's more to the star's uber-casual maternity style: Maybe Jen can't get to A Pea in the Pod because she's too busy standing in line at Starbucks all day.

Every other paparazzi shot of the mom-to-be shows her toting her beloved cup-of-something, sometimes even triple-fisting. Clearly she's not downing all of that brew by her little lonesome, which makes her even more praise-worthy in my book for adding "delivery gal" to her list of real-world ways. 

There's no way to know what Jen's drinking -- maybe it's unleaded chai tea. Maybe she’s a decaf-drip girl. But even if it isn't and she’s not, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG), says moderate caffeine consumption (200 mg or about a 12-ounce cup) is perfectly safe for expecting moms. (With Starbucks' most recent price hike, however, their wallets might be hurting.)
