  Okay I'll go first.. I am having a TERRIBLE time cutting back on my caffeine intake. I asked my OB about it and he is not concerned but you would think with my history I would do everything "right". *I say as I sip an espresso*

  same @tessiesmom26!  I totally cut it out with my first, continued drinking it with my 2nd, and same with my 3rd.  My OB said as long as youv'e always had it in your morning routine it's OK, but also make sure you're not over doing it. I stick to my one cup a day of home brewed coffee, and if I treat myself to Starbucks on the weekend I switched from my usual venti to a grande size.

  I drank 3 cups a day with my 3rd and he turned out to be my biggest (still under 8 pounds) most special happy baby. 😆 This time around I'm drinking one cup in the morning and my mushroom with tiny bit of coffee blend in the afternoon.

  Guys, I do everything I’m “supposed” to while preggo aside from coffee. Have one cup in the AM everyday 🤪

  @tessiesmom26 Not going to lie, I am the worst at cutting out caffeine during pregnancy. 😬 During my pregnancy w/ DS, I basically lived off chai tea (it was one of the only thing I could keep down and it was calories). After he was born, the lactation consultant was talking about how to reintroduce caffeine to my diet and the risks to exposing him to caffeine for the first time via a breastmilk and I just stared at her. In theory, I will do better this time...in reality I will continue to struggle with cutting the caffeine  consumption.

  My terrible confession: I love my son. I miss my son so much right now. But at the same time, I am actually happy that he is with his dad for the summer, because I feel so crappy right now (nausea, fatigue, headaches, body aches). I truly can't imagine how much worse I would feel right now if I was chasing a 6 year old around outside, enduring our 90 degree, 90% humidity Okinawa summer, that will only get hotter as it goes on.
