Word to the wise

So, if you've been (mostly) avoiding caffeine while pregnant, don't suddenly decide that it would be ok to have some Diet Coke with pizza at a friend's house at 7 pm. You will be up all night, have the worst heartburn ever, and possibly even throw up around 4 am.  It's especially stupid to do this the night before your baby shower. Just sayin'.

Yes, I am an idiot.

ICK! Pizza is the only food that gives me heartburn while I am pg! Have fun at your shower and I hope you feel better!

Oh, that's a bummer! I can never sleep these days unless I take Unisom (and yes, I have been told it's okay to have doxylamine succinate during pregnancy, and in fact, it used to be marketed for ms). I have to avoid caffeine after 2 PM even when I'm not pg, or have sleep troubles.

I hope you feel better today! Pizza sauce, tomato sauce, and anything very acidic has been giving me heartburn, too, so I feel for you!

At 5 am I remembered that warm milk can help sleep and would help some with the heartburn -- so I tried it and fell right to sleep! Got about 4 hrs which worked fine to get me through the baby shower, which was very fun. No more Diet Coke, and not much pizza either, for me!

I can so relate! DH and I went out for a nice dinner on Saturday. I enjoyed it so much I decided to order a decadent desert and a cup of coffee afterword. Big mistake. LO kept me up all night exercising. I ended up getting up and getting into child's pose for a few minutes and that seemed to calm LO down enough so that I could go to sleep.

I don't blame you, I haven't had caffine for a while now and I'm dying!!!!
