Sandy - I'm sorry to hear this news Still keeping you both in my prayers. Do you have a date set for the stem cell transplant?

Ladies, are there any hot beverages that are ok during pregnancy? I love hot drinks and can't find anything that is described as completely safe. Did all of the mommies on here avoid hot drinks altogether?

 

[MoBaby]

I didn't really avoid anything (except alcohol and bad stuff) during pregnancy... I drank mostly decaf coffee. I also had some hot tea. It won't affect your uterus habitat. By the time it makes it through it's that of your body temp anyways. If you want a hot beverage go for it. Starbucks can make the drinks "cooled down" if you ask to donut 130-140degrees.

I'm with Mo...I didn't even know it was a no-no, so that tells you my stance!! I drank hot cocoa and decaf coffee throughout. I went through weird stages though...it only appealed to me now & then.
Super excited for you Lotus...when do you suppose you'll start the HPTs?

 

[LotusBlossom]

Well, I know herbal teas are not ok, especially hibiscus and chamomile. I don't want to drink coffee because I have some GERD issues and the coffee exacerbates it. I was drinking black tea, but gave up caffeine. Now I'm finding that when DH and I go to a coffee shop, I have to get a smoothie because I don't know what IS ok, only what isn't (which seems to be everything). I really enjoy warm drinks b/c I am always cold. I am avoiding soy and am lactose intolerant, so hot cocoa is out. Too many dietary restrictions... Not just due to pregnancy.

I'm going to test on Wed morning. It will be 6dp5dt. Hopefully I can hold out until Wed....

I drank whatever I wanted but my first cycle when I was seeing a natural path:acupuncturist they told me no cold drinks and to have warm drinks only lol.

Lotus: I drank decaf green tea, peppermint tea, and red rooibos tea, but not more that one cup total per day. I think moderation is the key. The issue with other herbal teas is their effect on hormones. I think you're okay with the three above, none of which contain caffeine.

 

[LotusBlossom]

Thank you, ladies! I just had an almond milk hot cocoa and it was GLORIOUS!

 

[Em260]

Yumm hot cocoa sounds delish! I drank a little coffee, 3/4 decaf and 1/4 caffeinated and green tea. I just couldn't give that miniscule amount of caffeine in the morning hehe and my RE said up to one cup of coffee per day is fine.

Can't wait for you to test, Lotus! Come on bfp!
