CP: Caffine Please!!!!

[4furrypaws]

Just wondering....

[hismom12]

Are you asking if you can have caffeine?

[blanche]

Read Expecting Better. Drink coffee if you feel like coffee. No causal evidence, only correlational which could be mediated by morning sickness.

[4furrypaws]

Not asking if I can or not. Just wondering if and how much you ladies are. I personally have one maybe two caffeinated drinks (usually coffee) a day.

[teambrink]

None, but I'm allergic so that helps.

[USCgirl]

I can't do caffeine because it messes with my stomach!  I do love decaf coffee once in a while though.

[hismom12]

Oh ok. I drank a decent amount when pregnant with DS..like 5 cans a day. I quit caffeine a few months ago due to fibrocystic breast changes so I'm only drinking water this time.

[mtnmomma13]

I have a cup of coffee every morning. But I'm not a huge soda drinker...so maybe 2/month.

ETA: I didn't realize this was a poll until just now!! I hate that mobile users can't see it.

I switched to decaf because I honestly can't tell the difference (we have a keurig and I LURV coffee creamers).

I have yet to find a coconut creamer I like, can you take a picture of the one you use so I can hunt it down?!
Currently stuck on a Belgian Chocolate creamer, I might just drink straight from the carton one of these days...

[dazdareis]

I have 1-2 cups a day, down from 4-5 while TTC. I'm trying not to stress about caffeine really, as I just quit smoking the day after I got my BFP

[harvestmoon]

I do cut out caffeine mostly because I am to caffeine as some people are to alcohol - either no drinks or several

My sister kept drinking her regular morning coffee throughout her pregnancy because she couldn't surive her morning routine without it. I've heard the same from many moms of more than one about needing the boost even more when pregnant!

[lycih]

I try to keep it to 200mg of caffiene or less only because that's what my m/w recommends, but *how* I get that ranges day to day... it's espresso based, I'll have three, but some drip coffees are stronger so that I get 200mg in one order... after first tri I'll be less vigilant, but even though there's a lot of info saying there really isn't much difference, I've had too many early losses to want to try drinking as much coffee as I might otherwise. But, TBH, I haven't even really wanted more than one cup lately anyways. I'll pour it, thinking I want it. Then it just sits there.

[harvestmoon]

I'm laughing at myself because soda didn't even cross my mind. I never developed a taste for it and never drink it.

[zapgurl44]

I usually have a cup of decaf or two. The day after My bfp I went without any coffee and had the worse headache ever. So coffee it is

[snoris]

I never had caffeine before anyway, so no loss there!

[flyliceandcoffee]

I cut back to one cup of coffee a day when I was pregnant with my first and never really went back. I occasionally have a coke but most of the time it's water and sprite if i want something carbonated.

[craftcrazymama]

I've been having one Nespresso in the morning. I did the same when I was pregnant with my daughter. Usually I would have 2 or 3 a day.

Wait....whaaaaaaat!!!??!?! Never ever!?!?!

[sassypantzz]

Not pregnant I am a caffeine mess. Like 5+ cups of black coffee a day. I just can't walk down that rabbit hole pregnant.

[jumpingpuddles]

I weaned myself down to 2 c a day with my last pregnancy, and stuck with that when TTA. My AL brain is already kicking in and telling me to cut it completely, but I know that is unlikely to happen because I used to be a 4 c a day kinda gal. I had HG with my two successful pregnancies, so I know it's a matter of time before my stomach refuses it anyway (hopefully).

Lolz!! That sounds funny. I meant caffeine wasn't a part of my life before becoming pregnant. I've had caffeinated beverages before but they never stuck. Part of my "prescription" for my medical condition is limited caffeine, but I never cared for sodas or coffee so cold turkey was easy enough my h is a coffee addict and he thinks I'm an anomaly too.
