How much caffeine are you drinking now?

Will you change once you get past 1st Tri?

IrishBrideND · September 2009

1 drink a day.

happytobemrs.m · September 2009

Zero.

lindamartinez01 · September 2009

One cup. I won't change because this is all I've ever really drank.

ameliaandmatt · September 2009

None

yecal262 · September 2009

I drink one glass of sweet tea a day and the rest is water. I am trying to completly kick the habit but it is sooooo hard! I have been having caffeine everyday since I was 16. I hate the headaches,... so am trying to drink less and less each day.

Taylor11 · September 2009

I cup of half caff every morning. Once or twice a week I will have a few sips of iced tea in the afternoons. I drank my half caff this morning right before our 12 week appt, and baby was going insane in the ultrasound! Kicking, flipping over, dancing, etc. He must have been feeling the effect... It was hysterical!

IrishBrideND · September 2009

I should add that I didn't drink any until 9 weeks.

lilfluke · September 2009

I'm currently drinking a SB tall 1/2 caff soy pumpkin spice mocha

I try to limit myself to one 1/2 caff drink per day.

Two Pink Shoes! Congrats!! I haven't been to BOTB for a while so missed your BFP, but H&H 9 months to you!

Question- I have given up most coffee, as I used to only have one small cup in the mornings. Every once it a while I will have one, but it really doesn't sound all that good to me anymore. I'm sure when it starts to get colder in the morning I will want some. Mmmmm, pumpkin latte from starbucks!

LauraLovesJon · September 2009

I really don't drink it, last pregnancy I only did before my ultrasound to get DD moving, and in my 3rd trimester a couple times.

Erin&Ryan · September 2009

None and no.

lindseystenlund · September 2009

I have a cup a day and the rest of the day it's water.

bb80 · September 2009

Maybe about two small iced teas a day, and a half a cup of coffee if i'm really tired

APRILMW · September 2009

None, I cut caffeine out before we started TTC

Bride2b2004 · September 2009

None.

Most likely will have one tea or coffee every day or so after the first tri.

1MusicMaker · September 2009

I reserve all of my 1st tri caffeine intake for chocolate:)

I don't drink soda anyway, but won't worry about how much chocolate I eat after 1st tri.

Mrs.Wink08 · September 2009

None. I honestly dont miss it that much so i probably wont go back.

two-pink-shoes · September 2009

Thanks Peony!

I got down to a cup of 1/2 caf in the morning. I get a major slump in the afternoon so I debating whether to go for a cup of tea. :rustles around for the Magic 8 ball:

This.

However, I will splurge and have a Dr. Pepper or two a week. I will probably keep that up throughout the pregnancy.

bbetson · September 2009

APRILMW:

I did the same! Now I am drinking almost nothing but water. If I've met my water goal by dinner I might have some caffeine free soda like spirte or root beer, but that's only if I've met my water goal. If I haven't, then I drink water.

katater · September 2009

None right now but oh how I miss my coffee! After 1st tri I'll go back to one cup/day.

lnyost · September 2009

I too save up all of my caffeine allowance for chocolate EVERY DAY!

laurasue · September 2009

None right now, except for a rare diet coke or iced tea. Probably won't change after 1st tri. I'm trying to keep any caffiene to occasional only. Although last night I dreamed about Coca Cola and it was soooo good.

witoga · September 2009

I have one cup a day, as I did while pregnant with DS - wont change after 1st tri.

homebird · September 2009

I have some caffeine now and again. Nothing major : maybe a coffee or a coke or something. But it's only once or twice a week (at most).

I don't plan on changing my intake.

vagirl06 · September 2009

I drink a cup of 1/2 caf/decaf coffee each morning. I'll also sometimes have a small glass of iced tea in the evenings.

Dite Rite's are my new thing. Diet, Caffeine free, sweetened with Splenda and tastes pretty darn good.

sarahandeddiejune212008 · September 2009

I was completely caffeine free until this past Sunday. I had a very small glass of Coke (maybe 4 ounces) and noticed that it settled my stomach in a major way. If I'm feeling super nauseous I will have a 1/2 a coke, but I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible. I probably won't change after 1st tri.

BabyButler2010 · September 2009

I'm not drinking any...I started backing off of the caffeine last week (when I found out I was pg) started the day with a half cup of coffee and extra skim milk with a bit of half & half...Now I'm just having a cup of blueberry rooibos in the morning and at night (it's really good for you and tastes delicious). Anyway- I thought that not drinking coffee was going to be much more difficult for me than it has been (I work in the sales & marketing dept. for a coffee & tea company- so it is always around!) What I found was that it was more of the ritual of sitting down with my hot cup of coffee than the actual caffeine content that I craved...so-- now thanks to the blueberry rooibos I still get my ritual and can skip the caffeine

Don't get me wrong- I'll definitely go back to having my coffee once the baby is born and I'm done with breas feeding- and I'm sure that between now and then I'll have an occasional cup of joe...just not every morning

MrsWindyCity · September 2009

It varies. Some days none (well, except for small amts in chocolate or something), other days I will have a couple glasses of iced tea or a cup or cup and a half of coffee.

bmb10 · September 2009

I'll usually have a soda or two on the weekends, but nothing but water during the week.

Chelle0112 · September 2009

Most of my caffeine intake is chocolate. I'll let myself have a soda every so often. I'm visiting family in NC and I just had to have some sweet tea yesterday.

kates2480 · September 2009

None now, my OB recommends it until 13 wks. then probably one cup a day, or half reg/half decaf

ETK1188 · September 2009

I'm not drinking any right now. Only water.

I may have caffeinated tea when I need it after the 1st tri.

...I sure am missing diet cherry Dr. Pepper and RedBull..

Peanut1334 · September 2009

I pretty much cut it all out. And i was a 2 coffees and 2-3 diet coke drinker a day.

Eviebee · September 2009

I cut out coffee, only drinking 1 cup of tea in the mornings, may have to switch to juice b/c what used to calm my stomach in the mornings is now not so much. But the juice gives me heart burn... So much fun.

bobbidall · September 2009

None and I probably won't change since I'm used to no morning coffee. I might get a Starbucks every now and then though!

emmalil · September 2009

I used to drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day, and cut down to one when TTC -- I never planned to give it up entirely, but the thought of it now makes my stomach turn and I haven't had any in three+ weeks.

taratru · September 2009

I have a 12-14 oz cup every morning. A little less on the weekends and during the week I usually treat myself to something from Starbucks. I'm just not going to stress out about it.
