I can't do it! Neeeeeed coffee.

kgibson6812 · May 2014

As a member of the Oklahoma City community, I obviously have been staying up watching the OKC Thunder/Grizzlies playoff series. Last night was an incredibly proud game for us and I got much less sleep than I need. I am 6W3D and I am about to fall asleep at my desk. I mean, the kind of exhaustion that makes you feel weak, queasy, and dizzy. I have been off the java for about a month now, and I decided to ask my co-worker for a teeny sip of her glorious smelling coffee. Ever the realist (and mother of 2 amazing young adult boys), she just giggled at me and told me to save my sanity and pour myself some coffee. After the internal struggle (this is my first ever pregnancy and I'm a hypochondriac), I poured about 3 ounces of coffee. That should do it, right? Combined with a smidgen of the sugary hazelnut coffee creamer that aforementioned co-worker offered up to me, I should wake up in no time, right??? RIGHT???

Lord, get me through this Friday.

You can have coffee. My OB "allowed" me up to 200 mg (2-3 cups of leaded joe) of caffeine daily. With an active toddler you bet your behind I drank my coffee during my pg with DS.

You'll have to pry it from my fingers during my next pregnancy too.

Calm down.

Just drink the coffee. I have a cup pretty much every morning, plus sometimes a soda or tea later in the day. I also did it also when I was preg. with DS. It will be fine!

Thanks ladies. Cognitively, I know the research and what is deemed a safe amount of caffeine. I just really wanted to measure up to the "super mom" who works in the office next to me who was amazingly able to skip caffeine altogether during her 2 pregnancies. Oh well. At least I'm awake now.

*PrimRoseMama - "pry it from my fingers," haha, I love it.

Adding to the chorus of DRINK THE COFFEE! I will say that for me, when m/s kicked in at about 6 and a half weeks coffee started to sound super ick, so I haven't been able to have any for almost a month. I miss it, but each time I smell it or try to take a sip my stomach heaves.

Please let me drink coffee vicariously through you?
