Are you caffeine free?

hbkises · May 2010

I know this has come up but I was curious.

I was caffeine free before my BFP, but occasionaly I gotta have it for a bad headache

So, now that you're pg, do you drink caffeine or have you cut it out?

I have cut it out completely. It was hard the first few days, but I don't miss it anymore. And I know that most docs will tell you it's fine in moderation, but I read about caffeine contributing to early miscarriage, and since I have had 2 of those, I decided not to risk it.

I cut out caffiene cold turkey when I got my BFP. I had a rough few days from it, but now that it's out of my system, I don't get horrible headaches anymore.

I felt so bad that I had drank a whole bunch of soda the day I got my BFP (no wonder I was so tired!), at least it wasn't alcohol but I was worried. I had also just purchased a 1 liter of mountain dew and well...I finished it a little each day until it was gone but haven't had any soda since, and I don't drink coffee. I'm clean now doc, I swear!

Haven't drank anything with caffeine since finding out. My addiction to $1 Cokes at McDonalds has miraculously been cured Stick out tongue

mommajen8 · May 2010

no..............i've been having a coke every once in a while.

whits900 · May 2010

I cut it out for the most part. But once about 2 weeks ago I had a tiny bit of diet coke - and I had one cup of decaf coffee about a week ago (decaf still has *some* caffeine)

I'm surprised I haven't gotten more headaches from nto drinking it - I used to drink a lot of diet coke....

I still drink it occassionally. I have found that sweet tea is the only drink that cures my nausea.

mbs427 · May 2010

For the most part I am. I work two night shifts per week, and carry a can of Diet Coke with me just in case I get too sleepy.

danigirl9 · May 2010

I rarely drank caffeine in the first place. But about every other day I find myself drinking a coke

finndog · May 2010

I have pretty much cut it all out, everyonce in a while I will have a small cup of coffee or a diet coke, but this is rare (maybe once every two weeks or so). It suprisingly wasn't very hard to do, especially because I was a hard core coffee drinker before my BFP!

izzourclue · May 2010

Never been a coffee or soda drinker. But I haven't cut out chocolate, so I guess I am still getting a little caffeine.

discovolante · May 2010

No liquid caffeine for me, but I won't deprive myself of some occasional chocolate. Big Smile

starsmaycollide · May 2010

I don't drink coffee anyway, but I am still drinking soda. I have just cut down and drink mostly 7up, and the occasional Coke.

juliane2004 · May 2010

I cut it out while TTC, but started drinking some again at 5 weeks.

Doodle2011 · May 2010

I have been caffeine free since around 3 days after my BFP, when I switched to decaf, then dropped coffee entirely. I had a headache for a couple days but now I don't even miss it....which is crazy to me. I have been pretty much only drinking water, skim milk, or watered down juice. No soda, and only one sugary lemonade from Chik Fil A (I had to).

AimeeL85 · May 2010

I cut it out completely (except for chocolate of course). I am not overly cautious about every little thing but that's one thing I feel I should stay away from. I've never drank coffee but I'm a Diet Coke/Coke Zero addict and if I let myself have it I'd probably overdo it.

Oceangirl22 · May 2010

Nope, I just switched from regular 12 oz. coffee to half caff 8 oz coffee. But I don't drink cokes, and I do occasionally have tea.

pawcall · May 2010

I drink it when I need it. I get nasty nasty migraines and caffeine on those days keeps me functioning. When I do have it though, it's one can of diet coke. Not more than that.

itsmegin · May 2010

I only get caffeine now from the occasional chocolate. I was never a big coffee drinker, especially since I quit working in an office, and I haven't regularly drank soda in probably 15 years.

I did drink a lot of tea prior to the BFP, especially green, but I've stopped mainly because it is so hard to find one that is safe-black has too much caffeine (for me), green blocks folic acid absorption, even caffeine free herbals are risky, some aren't safe.

broccolitree · May 2010

Yep, no caffeine for me.

I missed iced coffee so hard on these hot summer days. Decaf doesn't brew up the same, it tastes really chalky when I ice it unless I brew overnight in cold water, and I don't have the patience for that.

sandylou · May 2010

I am officailly caffeine free. I am taking lunch time naps now though.

NJBrit · May 2010

Yes, and I'm actually losing weight right now since I cut out caffeine, wine, and soda. I've been chugging water like crazy though, and have been drinking Izze's in replacement of soda. They are delicious! We keep a glass pitcher of water with lemons in the kitchen, and it's really been quite refreshing on these hot days.

Ceefome · May 2010

I'm not caffeine free. I've cut way back, but if I want a Coke here and there or a cup of coffee, I'll have one. I've had 2 cups of coffee and 1 Coke in the last two weeks. Not unusal for the Coke, but I used to have a cup of coffee every day!

jakin1508 · May 2010

I've had one coke and one coffee since I got my BFP and that was 5 weeks ago. I'm trying to cut it out completely, but I'm not going to be too hard on myself for giving in again within the next 7 1/2 months. And I still eat chocolate.

WestCoastMommy · May 2010

I cut it all out. I will have an occasional sip of DH's pepsi but no more coffee. Chocolate is still in but it's def not an every day thing.

uklawgirl · May 2010

I am allowing one Coke if I have a headache too. Tylenol does nothing for me so it's my only line of defense. Other than that, I am trying to stay away from it if I can, but I'm not perfect!

kcisthebombdotcom · May 2010

The first time around, I had no caffeine (not even soda) in 1st tri. By the end of 3rd tri, I'd have a half cup of regular coffee in the mornings just so I'd survive.

This time, I am drinking coffee in moderation. I work PT and make my own schedule, and the days I go in at 9am-12pm (usually 3 days a week) I have a small cup.
