Who still drinks their beloved coffee?

[mummof1]

Every time I'm pregnant I like to see if many others still enjoy their cup a day (or maybe more) !
I have two VERY active boys , I eat pretty healthy, go to bed at a decent hour ,I just really need that extra boost my one cup or one small timmies gives me .. Anyone else ?
I wasn't a coffee drinker yet when I was pregnant with my first son then my second I didn't drink it until second trimester but this pregnancy I'm SO darn tired lol it really helps me wake up and get motivated for the day

Absolutely! I was drinking like six cups a a day and when I found out, I dropped down to one cup a day. It was so hard to do!

 

[mummof1]

Oh me too!! Definitely cut way back that's for sure lol

I still drink it, I did stop and just drank tea until about 8 weeks when the migraines started coming non-stop. I only have one cup a day but only when I have a migraine or feel one coming. Although lately I have been making a mocha because the taste of coffee hasn't been appealing to me.

I still do, only about a half a cup to 1 cup a day. My Dr. said one cup was fine. it's hard to break routines, I certainly miss that midday cup of joe.

I drank a lot of coffee before getting pregnant. As soon as morning sickness kicked in I couldn't stand the taste so I stopped drinking it. MS is still lingering, but I will have the occasional cup, especially if I am working a night shift. But the after taste makes me feel quite sick so I have to always have mints on me if I'm going to have a cup. I miss my morning cup of coffee, but the taste is just not appealing anymore.

I dnt drink coffee no more makes me gag but im lovin my cappachinos lol

Yep I do! I wasn't a huge coffee drinker, but 1-2 cups per day. It was so hard for about 5-6 weeks, I wasn't able to drink coffee, I was too nauseous and that was the only reason. I'm starting to be able to drink it again and I will drink about 1 cup per day probably from now on. I also eat sushi (from places I feel are trustworthy), eat cold cuts (that I personally had cut) and will have a small glass of wine if offered and I feel like it. I just want to be balanced, healthy and not overly-anything, you know?

Oh yeah I totally still drink coffee and did with my first as well

I was a total caffeine addict before TTC, several cups of strong coffee a day. I cut down to two during the tww, then from finding out I was pregnant I've cut down in strength and frequency until I could go caffeine free. Thankfully as I was doing this, coffee began smelling repulsive and making me gag, so glad I was down to so little as going from all to nothing would have been horrendous! I am looking forward to a cup of coffee, but going to wait now until after first tri, figure I might as well!

I absolutely love my coffee but have cut down to one possibly two cups a week since BFP. I'm drinking a couple of cups of decaf earl grey tea instead which I've started to get used to now.

I used to love coffee, buts it's actually become an aversion to me. Just the smell of it makes me nauseous.

 

[writingislove]

I was addicted to coffee before I got pregnant. A few days before I got my bfp, I suddenly couldn't stand the taste of it anymore, and at this point, even the smell of it makes my stomach churn. I can't imagine ever liking coffee again...we'll see what happens!

 

[Stellae]

Oh heck yes. I drink a cup of half-caff in the morning so I know I can have a cup of tea or another cup of half in the PM if I'm dragging. Coffee at 6:00am is one of the small pleasures in life I can't give up all the way !

 

[winterbabies3]

Love my coffee but love my soda too. So I drink my morning coffee and my soda w dinner=)

 

[mummof1]

Thanks for the replies ! It's interesting to see everyone's perspectives on it ! Also nice to know I'm not the only pregnant coffee addict lol! It's hard for me to just have one a day even!

 

[MommaCC]

I drank coffee the whole way through with my last son I couldn't help myself! And he was perfect in every way! This time I can't. Stand the thought but I'm loving a nice milky cup of tea at the minute xxx

 

[ruby83]

I drink 1 coffee and lots of decaf tea! I think 1-2 caffeinated drinks a day would be fine.

 

[Drsamyjohn]

I do! Once in the morning and maybe a fountain soda in the afternoon. Coca Cola seems to settle my stomach. I feel that it's just fine in small amounts.

I often have a cup now, and I wasn't even a big fan before, but I find it's the only thing that helps with constipation. Apologies for lowering the tone!!
