Caffiene

Did you stop drinking coffee?

I hardly drank it with my other two, but it's become a routine since I became a sahm. Im not getting much sleep at night, and I have a 7th month old, so hes going at 730 every morning. Without it, id fall down during the day.

Re: Caffiene

I don't drink Caffiene as a general rule even not PG (other heath issues) but my Dr told me that a cup a day was OK.

Re: Caffiene

i did not stop - having it right now actually. i don't have any children yet but it would be such a shock to my system to go from 3-4 cups a day to 0, i don't think i'd be able to function.
I keep it to one cup in the morning, and I will sometimes have a cup of tea around 3 in the afternoon on work days.

Re: Caffiene

I did stop drinking caffeine in its obvious forms.

The other day I was drinking an iced tea from the deli and my coworker reminded me that it probably had caffeine in it, and I stopped drinking immediately.

But, FWIW, coffee and other forms of caffeine never had any effect on my behaviors or alertness.

I have a small dunkin every morning

Re: Caffiene

I cut back from 2-3 cups a day to 1-1 1/2 a day. 2 cups or less I read is fine but then you shouldn't have soda or tea or anything else with caffeine in it.

Re: Caffiene

i can't go a day without coffee. I cut back from 4 cups a day pre-pregnancy to anywhere from 1-2 cups a day, but i always make sure that i keep it under 200mg of caffeine.

Re: Caffiene

Thanks girls, I only have one cup in the am. I drink seltzer all day, nothing else. Glad im within range.

I wouldn't last in the morning.

Re: Caffiene

I drink a cup a day if I want it, I was never an every day coffee person, but when I need or want it I have it

Re: Caffiene

I don't drink it every day but do drink it sometimes. I found that if I mix it with hot cocoa it still does the trick and cuts the caffeine content and it tastes really good.

Re: Caffiene

I try to limit myself to 1 can a day. I drink more soda than coffee. Sometimes I spoil myself and go for 2, but I don't think it's a big deal.

Re: Caffiene

Re: Caffiene

I didn't stop. I still have about 1-2 cups of regular tea a day. I'm also very guilty of loooooving iced fountain soda.

Re: Caffiene

I have 1 cup of coffee a day.

Re: Caffiene

With my first I tried to stop, then got insane migraines and was told by my OB to drink caffeine (within the accepted amount) and it totally helped. This time around I didn't even bother trying. I still ended up going through a period of migraines but it's so much harder to ditch caffeine when it's not your first!!!

Re: Caffiene

I have the Keurig coffee maker and I bought a few boxes of the breakfast blend decaf. I have a cup every morning and once in a while I'll have one when I come home from work.

Re: Caffiene

I only have decaf.

Re: Caffiene

Re: Caffiene

I've cut it down to 1 cup a day. I tried decaf and hated it.

Re: Caffiene

i stopped drinking it a little before my BFP cause i did IVF and i tried to cut out ANYTHING that wasn't helpful for TTC. i havent gone back. i also avoid soda and i never drank tea. i def stay away from it as much as possible.

Re: Caffiene

I still have a cup a day or else this would be me all day

Re: Caffiene

I have a small coffee mon-fri at work. And I always throw a soda in the mix too. And probably some Tea. It is what it is....
