Coffee Withdrawals

Cristy1020 · February 2014

Since I've been pg it seems like I can't tolerate coffee anymore. I try to drink my one cup of day but I end up sick to my stomach for the rest of the day. An if I don't have my cup of joe everyday I feel like I can't function, I think I literally have withdraws such as headaches, very irritable. I thought it would be better by the second Tri, but seems to only get worse. I NEED MY COFFEE. Anyone else having similar symptoms?

Try tea? Or maybe a Coke?

I never gave up the cup-two cups a day, but if I don't eat close to having it, I get a little sick now (I assume it's the acid but not really sure). Chocolate also has caffeine (not sure if it's enough to make a difference or not though).

I drink a small cup every few days or so, but I drink iced coffee so I water it down a little- also I only drink coffee I brew at home. One day I went to Starbucks and got an iced coffee there... I thought I was going to explode... I became jittery, had headaches, sick stomach, everything. Also I definitely have to eat with my coffee in the morning or I get sick. Are you drinking on an empty stomach? Where are you getting yours from?

I was a one to two cup a day coffee drinker prior to pregnancy. Ever since I got pregnant coffee sounds terrible to me. I too thought it would get better in the second trimester but so far nothing. So strange. I'm past the withdrawal stage but tea has been settling okay so I've been drinking that some.

Someone already said it above, but are you using any milk with it? Even before pregnant, my stomach was a wreck if I drank it black. If you want to start slow, you could try a decaf latte at Starbucks. The decaf still have caffeine in them and you will be getting your calcium too

I also have to make sure I've had breakfast or have a full stomach in order to have my cup of joe. I'm looking into maybe drinking tea(sigh) even though I'm not really a tea drinker. I've read odds an end stuff on certain teas that are not good for your LO so that's why I'm a little skeptic about drinking tea an especially ones that contain caffeine an as far as coke goes, I'm one of the odd leafs that can't stand coke, even before pregnancy. But I'll give tea a try, an hey maybe my teeth will whiten up a shade or two.
