Man, I miss caffeine in the afternoon.

I've cut down to a singe cup of coffee in the morning during pregnancy but I really miss a post-lunch jolt of caffeine delivered via a diet coke. I have no idea how I'm going to make it through the afternoon.

I'm still waiting for the fatigue to go away. It's going to go away right?

    I know it! I had a cup of coffee over the weekend and it was heaven! I do miss my diet coke at lunch. The fatigue for me starting getting less and less since hitting 13 weeks. I still have trouble staying up past 9 pm.

    Can you do half a cup in the morning and save half for the afternoon?  I find that just a bit of coffee in the morning will get me through, and then I have the option for an additional jolt in the afternoon if I need it!

    I do tea in the morning and a cup of half-caf in the afternoon. As long as I am under 200mg per day I feel okay about it.

    I could do half in then morning and half in the afternoons I guess. But what I really want in the afternoons is big, cold diet coke and if I took one sip I would have to drink the whole thing.

    I hope you're not like me... my fatigue never went away.

    And I had absolutely NO caffeine from my BFP to week 12. That was hard! Now I try to keep it to one cup of coffee per day and, when I drink soda, I avoid the diet due to the aspartame.

    Do you like Ice tea?

    The Starbucks near my house is the ONLY one in the district to still serve Decaf Frapps!  I am totally fortunate that they still do.  Sometimes I need that little caffeine kick.

    I drink decaf in the morning and live for my daily coke/cherry coke for lunch. It is the highlight of my day and that is when I need it the most, especially after chasing a toddler all morning.

    Get the mini cans of diet coke - they sell them at Targets near me.
