I used to love the taste of coffee but right now I can't stand it. I'll drink like 1/2 a cup on occasion (like when DD wakes me up at a ridiculously early hr) but I feel like I have to choke it down. I'm really hoping coffee will start testing good again because I miss enjoying a cup (or pot) in the morning.
I'm not advocating you drink 6 cups a day, but sometimes I think "some women continue to chain smoke or so drugs when pregnant- how bad can a cup of coffee or a slice of turkey REALLY be?!" I say enjoy that cup a joe for sure!!
I cut it out first tri with both sons, mostly because I was drinking way too much and it was better for me to go cold turkey and deal with the headaches then try to cut it back.
However with this pg, I am drinking 1-2 cups a day. My11 mo still waking up at night I need it to function.
I was never really a regular coffee drinker, but I still have a cup every now and then, mostly on the weekends because I don't have time to make a cup before I leave for work (and the coffee they make at my office is gross).
I am still a soda per day drinker though, so that's usually what I reserve my daily caffeine intake for. I've tried giving up soda, but it honestly keeps my diet in check because I eat better food if I can have a soda. If I try water or juice, then I crave shit food instead.
Half coffee, half egg nog, whip, cinnamon and a little sugar. Tastes like a gingerbread cookie!!!! This is my pregnancy drink....have no idea how I came up with it but its yummy!!!!
I went from 4-5 cups per day to nothing at all once we found out we are expecting... Once I start with that first cup it seems as though it's never enough so I steer clear of it all together. Decaf just isn't the same
I was drinking 1-2 cups of 1/2 caff daily until 5-6 weeks when MS really kicked in and I developed a major aversion to my beloved coffee Now that I'm past the nausea I don't really crave it anymore, although I had the most delicious Starbucks vanilla latte in my memory last week! Probably because I missed that glorious taste for nearly 3 months but still...

I don't drink coffee (yuck!) but I sure do miss my Diet Coke. I try really hard to cut back when I'm pregnant. I've probably had 6-7 since finding out I was pregnant and it ALWAYS makes me feel better. I try to save it for bad days. It gets rid of the nausea and headache.
Even before pregnancy I likeed drinking coffee, but it seems to tank by blood sugar and make me feel like my stomach was super empty. Since about 7 weeks my stomach feels like that all morning already, so I'm not making It worse with coffee. Can't wait for this to pass so I can drink coffee again!

I used my pregnancy as a good reason to kick my super unhealthy five giant cups of coffee a day habit. I figured if this didn't motivate me to cut back nothing would.
I drink naturally decaffeinated which still jas caffeine but less than 5mg a day. I love chocolate so I'm sure I'm getting caffeine there. I can't stop lol. I've resorted to making smores over my gas stove lol
I just started again this week. Just 1 cup in the mornings. We got an espresso machine about 1 month before I got KU and it's been torture with the morning sickness and not being able to use it!
I had an aversion when pregnant with my daughter and it has never tasted the same to me. I drink black tea now, and have a cup of coffee about 4 times a year.
