Do you still have your morning caffine?

i drank coke the first 3 1/2 months of my pregnancy b/c i was so sick. After i started to feel better again, i have my coffee in the morning its usually 1/2 decaf 1/2 regular- unless i reallyl need the extra boost. A lot of people comment that i still drink it- did you give it up totally?

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

Nope, I didn't give it up. My OB allows me caffiene in moderation. Every doc is different tho...

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I did give it up totally - but that had never been my intention. Before PG I was a HUGE coffee drinker and assumed I would just cut back to the allowed amount.

Somehow, coffee is one of the things that has turned me off during PG so I haven't had any since April. I really hope I get my taste for coffee back after the baby is born, even though the thought of it makes me kinda sick, I still miss it.

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I dont plan to cut it out completely. Since my BFP, I've allowed myself one cup of coffee, or one caffinated drink per day. I definately try to limit my intake, but I wouldnt be able to function without SOME caffeine each day.

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

i just cut the caffine amount that i consumed in a day.. i have a half cup of regular or if i get a latte i get it 1/2 caf

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

i didn't intentionally cut it out, but i just haven't been in the mood for it lately. i do drink coke and pepsi, though, which have been great for settling my stomach.

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I was a huge coffee drinker then when i got my BFP i was so sick i did not drink it for 5 months, since then i have been having a half a cup a day..

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

Nope....I had a cup of coffee yesterday morning for the first time in months! It was soooo yummy!

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I gave up ALL caffine for the first trimester.

Since that, I drink my 2 cups of coffee in the morning and will have a soda (diet coke) whenever I want. My dr has yet to tell me NOT to have anything. But Im a moderation person anyway.

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I gave it all up...my dr just said I could cut down but I know me..I would take that and run with it so it was just easier for me to give it up.

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I just cut down how much I have. I did it with DS too.

I went from about 5 cups a day to 1.

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I loved coffee before...now the smell makes me sooo sick. I can't even sit next to someone drinking coffee. I miss it soo much! I can't wait till after the baby comes so I can stand the smell of it.

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I have one cup of decaf every morning.

By afternoon if I am "dragging", I will have a cup of caffinated coffee or tea, depending on my mood.

Now and then (maybe 1 time per week) I have soda too (usually when we are out). Fountain Cherry coke tastes SO good to me!!

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I am not normally a soda or coffee drinker. Sometimes I just want a good old Starbucks latte or a Coke w/ my pizza though !

So, I do. - But it's pretty rare. Most people I know who are coffee/soda drinkers didn't give it up completely, althuogh they did cut back.

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

No, I don't. However I've recently started (I'm 29 weeks today) having an iced tea with dinner when we are out. I miss my iced tea ALOT!

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I heard 300 mg of caffeine is ok. That's about one regular cup of coffee and tea.

That's what I've been having as well the past 8 months...

No need to give it up completely.

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I gave it up in the 1st trimester only because it made me sick. I drink one small cup monday-friday and 2 cups on the weekends. I don't drink any coke though...

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I have 1 small cup of coffee sometimes. About 3 times a week I would say.

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

Nope, i gave it up. the dr said i could have 2 cups a day but just decided not to

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

Heck no.... I had at least a cup a day!!!!!!!!!

My daughter is perfectly fine, and she loves to sleep, so no ill effects here!

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

You know, with my other two kids I would mix half caf with half decaf but I have been so sick this time. I just stoppe with the tea and coffee which I loved.

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

Nope, I gave it up but I would only have one cup in the morning anyway and sometimes I wouldn't even finish that. So it wasn't a real big deal for me.

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I cut it out completely but I am just trying to be as cautious as possible. To each their own

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I was a HUGe, I mean HUGe coffee drinker before my BFP and I wondered how I was going to give it up! Well, the baby hates it!!! so it made it easy! I wont have caffeinated coffee even though my dr told me 1 cup a day was fine, but I sometimes I try Decaf and it really depends..I dont have that strong craving for it at all!!!

Re: Do you still have your morning caffine?

I was never a coffee drinker--caffeine has no effect on me whatsoever so it's pointless for me. But I have no problems downing 3 sweet teas with my lunch.
