I think kapeng barako is a strong kind of coffee and it may not be very well suited for pregnant women. If you can't really skip a cup a day, you may instead opt for lighter version of coffee, like decafs, with maximum of 200 mg caffeine. When I was pregnant, I still had my morning cup and it was accompanied with some palpitations in exchange so my OB suggested for me to stop drinking anything with caffeine. But as of now while I'm BFing, I limit myself to one cup a day. Just watch out for some reactions for you and your baby. :)
