Coffee...

MollyC20

Has anyone lost the love of coffee this pregnancy, only to have started loving it again??  I LOOOOVED coffee before I got pregnant, and now I can't stand it.  I miss it terribly though -- not the caffeine, but the yummy iced coffees, lots of creamers, whipped cream goodness.... mmmm.... anyway.... anyone started drinking it again after thinking it was gross?

I had never been a coffee drinker, until the third trimester with DD2, then I just wanted it so bad. I would go but decaf mochas almost every day. After she was born, I still continued to drink coffee. Now it sounds disgusting and I'm wondering if I'll want it again later in pregnancy.

I was told by everyone I would lose my addiction/love:infatuation with caffeine once I was pregnant. I've cut way back for the baby - only a cup or cappuccino every few days.

Mmmmm coffeeeeee

I loved coffee before I got pregnant. I would have 2-3 cups a day, not for the caffeine but I just loved the smell and warmth. After about 6 weeks of pregnancy I could not stand the smell of coffee! Still to this day when my H makes it I have to go into the other room. I have been able to start drinking iced coffee or instant cappuccinos again but not fresh brewed coffee.

Me!  I used to love coffee...but I haven't wanted it at all since I found out I was pregnant.  Since I love to get coffee with friends, I'm hoping this is just a short-lived thing.

Me. The smell was terrible- like want to vomit- but I still drank a small cup to keep the headache away. Now I just want to drink it all the time (I don't. I keep it to my 1 small cup in the morning).

For weeks I couldn't stand the smell of it. On vacation last week I ordered coffee a few times for breakfast and enjoyed about a half cup each time (it was much stronger there). I'm hoping that I am turning the corner because I love my coffee!

Yes!! I was a faithful coffee drinker pre-pregnancy, then totally grossed out by it during my entire first trimester, now I am loving iced coffee...for some reason, hot still isn't appealing to me. International Delight iced coffee is delicious and relatively low in caffeine (76 mg per 8 oz) so I'm having a small glass of that in the mornings now.

Me! I used to drink a ton of coffee every day. I cut it completely off after I found out I was pregnant but started drinking it again in the last few weeks. I drink 1/2 cap & 1/2 non-caffeinated. Sometimes a little more cappuccino on some days ;-)

I wish. I've stuck with 1 cup/day. Like, an actual cup...not the cup (or 17) that I want

YES and it's amazing! My coffee tasting like poison was the reason I tested (this was part of my tell the last two times also). I've been drinking half coffee/ half cocoa for about two weeks and had my first full up coffee and it was glorious! There's hope!

It depends on the day. Some days it is the best thing ever and some days, dirt seems more appetizing.

I used to drink it daily but quit when I was ovulating as it lost its appeal to me. A few weeks ago my parents came for a visit and made coffee and it was amazing. Now I again just get sick even thinking about it!

I've cut back, but I've needed it to get through my work day. I stay under 200mg, but I have coffee every day. I love making lattes - a little calcium as an added bonus!

This is totally me! Usually I love it, but it has made me puke a few times this pregnancy.

I love coffee.  For most of the first tri, I wasn't totally averse to it, but I definitely was not enjoying it like I usually do, almost like I lost the taste for it completely.  I am back to loving it again though.  Probably started enjoying it again the past two weeks.

The last cup I had was the day I peed on the stick. Normally I'm a coffee fanatic and get migraines if I don't have my one cup but that was 2.5 months ago and I'm still feeling good.

I went from like five cups a day to zero in the fist trimester, but it wasn't that hard because the smell of drip coffee was/is so gross to me right now. I'm sure that aversion will go away in time.

I love love love coffee and the ritual of it in the am. But...since being pregnant it doesn't sound good to me very often. I'm guessing it will come back. I hope!

It came back at 13 weeks for me. Coffee time!

fireflyrebirth

I never lost my taste for it completely and have continued with my one cup a day.  Mmm...coffee.

I'm loving my coffee again, to the point where I get a little sad that I have to limit my intake. But for several weeks I could barely choke down one cup just to get enough caffeine in me to stay awake on the drive to work.

I also cannot drink coffee! I used to love it, but this whole pregnancy anytime I made myself a cup because I was exhausted I ended up throwing it away after one sip because my stomach started gurgling immediately! Now that my naucea has mostly subsided, I tried again to drink it and I still could not!! I hope I can enjoy some iced coffee this summer!
