I just got my BFP yesterday and this morning I went to starbucks and bought a large coffee and threw the whole thing away b/c I want to try to avoid caffeine. Then, this afternoon a coworker asked me to get drinks this weekend and I agree'd....woops! I guess I'll just have to be "not feeling well" or something.
Re: I keep forgetting I'm PR
You can still have caffine just limit your intake. The booze well not so much LOL
I still have a coffee or tea in the morning depending on which one I feel like.
It's hard isn't it? A bunch of coworkers are getting together for happy hour today and I had to think of a reason not to go...it'd be strange if I showed up and didn't have a drink, LOL...and I don't want to tell them yet!
I am the same way as you, a bunch of co-workers were talking about having a party in a few weeks after we get done with state testing ( i'm a teacher and our testing schedule is really stressful this year) and I was thinking there better be some drinks there...then I remembered- it won't do me any good anyway . Normally I never drink anyway, but after 3 stressful weeks, it would have been nice. Wouldn't change it though!
You can have some caffeine, but not A LOT. I don't think your Starbucks would have hurt anything, especially if you are careful with your caffeine intake. It is not something that you should do every day but one as a treat once a while will not hurt.
If you decide to go out with your friend, order pop/soda (caffeine free) or a virgin drink.
Congrats, it's the most amazing thing in the world to have this little life growing inside you. I'm 21 weeks and he doesn't let me forget he is there with the (seems like) constant kicks and somersaults. I was big on caffeine pre-pregnancy so I know it's hard to cut back but do just that, you don't have to cut it out at all. Too much caffeine is bad but a cup of coffee here and there isn't going to hurt a thing. Just remember to stock up on that vitamin C to help prevent stretch marks! lol!
