I have to say, I am much better off this month since finding out I was expecting as I've saved loads due to not buying coffee!! I'm usually terribe, used to go to Starbucks at least twice a week!
Any other silver linings?!

I'm thinkings how healthy my body probably is now with all this healthy eating and no alcohol

I've saved £30 this week by quitting smoking. As much as it's killing me, it is so worth it!!

With the coffee thing, is decaf ok? I am really bad with coffee and will have about 4 or 5 cups a day, but just been drinking decaf this week. Concerned this isn't alright though?

Certain amounts of decaff are ok. I drink a decaff tea but no more than 3 cups a day.

Decaf still has caffeine in it but...They do say to cut down your caffeine intake but 1 regular cup of coffee a day is ok. So whatever works for you darling!

My silverlining is...No feminine products to buy! lol

Coffee, hair dye, alcohol, clothes I'd have bought....!
But i plan to re invest all this cash into massages, facials & gorgeous Mat clothing & nursery items for new baby once I'm 20 wks x

Heehee, our bodies are temples! Yeah, I'm pretty sure decaf is okay, I've been drinking decaf tea, and the occasional decaf coffee too. Am defo finding things harder to stomach this week, haven't *been* sick, but there have been a few near misses!

Thanks guys. Quitting smoking this week has truly been on the hardest things I've ever done. It's been torture at times and the only thing that's really helping me if the coffee (decaf). I'm figuring that has to be slightly better than the fags just now, so hopefully I'll get less cravings and can cut back on the coffee too.

God, I didn't even think about the money I'm going to save on clothes! I must spend about £300 a month on clothes (crazy, I know!). Can honestly say I don't feel interested now though, got lots of stuff that will get me through the next few months and would much rather spend it all on baby

Keep going, and the decaf is definitely the lesser of two evils! In fact, I'm pretty sure even a few cups a day is under the maximum recommended intake for a pregnant lady. Proud of you, I know it's tough! X
