Goodbye Starbucks, it's been real.

a316b · August 2014

My house is literally 200 yards from a Starbucks drive through. They know my name, they know my beverages.
And this positive pregnancy test means no more quad-venti-lattes.

I have a 2yo and 3yo, I teach sophomores in hs. I am extra exhausted this past week and now coffee makes me want to puke.
Cest la vie.

Excited about #3. I swore up and down to hubby I was prego this past week and just got a positive test last night. (Told you so!) I'm 4 wks today but have been choking back vomit, dizzy, and pretty sore breasts for 7 days now.

This one should be born right around my dds 4th birthday and exactly 6-8 weeks before the end of school year (every teachers FMLA dream.)

Now... How to keep this nugget a secret from the family, friends, and work until our 1st u/s on sept 25?

Glad to have an online outlet, bump friends!

Congrats and welcome! Is there a different form of caffeine that doesn't make you sick? Most doctors readily approve some caffeine during pregnancy. I still drink my same large cup of coffee every morning and every few days I have a soda as well! I definitely can't get through pregnancy, work, and having a 2.5 yr old toddler without caffeine!

Good Luck!

I know..I miss my coffee too..

I still have my small cup every morning. I would not be able to function without it. However, my last pregnancy it made me so sick to even smell coffee through about 18 weeks so I completely get where you're coming from. Maybe your aversion will pass, too? Here's hoping!

ETA: Congrats!

Welcome and congrats!

Congrats and welcome! I agree this is great timing for a teach. I think my EDD is 8 before the end of the year.

Welcome! I believe sbux lists the caffeine contents on their website (I think...). There is still a lot you can have, just fewer shots or half caff.

Starbucks does list caffeine content- I just can't stomach the coffee.... I'm going to try to figure out how much caffeine is in iced tea today. Over the summer I finally stopped drinking soda- so that's out.

Thanks for the welcome!

Congrats! I still relish my one cup of coffee in the morning - I'd be sad if my stomach stopped liking it! Then the headaches would start, ugh.

Congrats and welcome! I'm having a hard time keeping the secret also. Being able to talk on here definitely helps!

Thankfully, in my last couple of pregnancies coffee hasn't bothered me except to give me heartburn. In my first I had to completely stop drinking it because it made me sick so I feel your pain.

I luckily gave up all caffeine, as well as lots of other food related items (junk mostly junk) a while ago but I am a 7p-7a RN and have an almost two year old. I'm really gonna miss my old 10p SB fix especially once pregnancy fatigue sets in!
