Is it wrong...

...that I drink a cup of coffee a few days a week to get things...ahem..."moving" for me in the morning??

I suppose I could try something else to help with the constipation, but this seems to be working for now and I don't think I'm going overboard...

Nope I drink a cup every single day.

I don't think so. Caffeine is what works for me. I'd rather drink a cup of coffee than take a laxative. That's painful. lol

Not at all!  A cup a day is fine, actually as long as it's under 200 mgs of caffeine.  I have a cup of 1/2 caff every morning and just yesterday my dr. reassured me that it was ok.  By the way, that's really the only thing that helps my "plumbing" along as well

Nope - do what you gotta.  You are allowed some caffeine - 200-300mg a day.

Totally not at all.  Coffee is natural.  I love my cup every morning.

Wait, Caffeine helps "move" things along?

Maybe that's why I'm all of a sudden having issues? I haven't been having any caffeine lately. I usually drink 1 or 2 cans of pop a day, but we've been buying Crush and 7-Up lately, and they both don't have caffeine in them.

i would now, but i can't stand the smell of coffee still.

I don't think so as long as you aren't getting Braxton Hicks often. I got quite a few yesterday after a Dr Pepper and then read that caffeine can egg them on.

No problem having coffee and I will usually have a cup in the morning for the same reason.

However I am sticking more to tea as I can have 2+ cups a day I get bad headaches if I dont have at least one cafinated drink a day. Must be my british side and the fact my mum had tea in my bottle from a baby I think im just addicted :P

i drink a pop a day to help with my headaches. everyone was giving me a hard time but 20oz of Mt. Dew only has 97mg of caffeine (a ton of sugar, but not caffeine)
