i dont drink any caffine whislt pregnant

I cut right back when I first found out I was pregnant and switched to decaf tea and coffee but later on I read somewhere else that there is no evidence that caffine has much effect at all and I drink coffee like normal now.

I used to be a megga coffee fan, but totally went off it, even before I found out I was pregnant but I didn't click. I remember my partners mum saying to me "are you pregnant" I was like no way, how did she know.

I'm on to tea now, but only 2-3 cups a day. My weakness is coke, can't stand any coke except the full fat stuff, bad I know. x

i did substitute my morning coffees for teas during most of my first trimester and early second tri, but recently i just felt like drinking them again in the mornings...I'll have half a cup and dump the rest...and i'm trying my best to only have them 3-4 times a week at the max...

thanks guys!

A bit of caffeine is fine, dammit I can't live without tea, coke or chocolate

Cut back some, DH read about artificial sweetners, and has told me nay nay for softdrinks, but I get one or so a week

I had a huge problem with getting enough water... I got dehydrated twice in about 6 weeks... so now I've really tried hard to get a lot of water in. It really has made a big difference in how I feel, and how energetic I am. Funny enough when I would normally drink coffee (a natural diuretic-which makes dehydration worse) I now drink water, and am almost more ALERT than the artifical alertness I got with coffee.

I didn't have any caffine in the first tri, but now I'll have one cup a week of soda or coffe.

i feel kinda guilty gals...ever since i was preggy, my urge to have soda drinks were much stronger than before...i know it does more harm than good, but i really couldn't control myself...

ok, i will from now onwards, cut down all soda drinks and coffee only once or twice a week.
i hope its not too late...

Ive only started drinking coffee since I got pregnant, I never used to like it before. i try to stick two 2 or 3 cups a day but I also drink a 2 litre bottle of water at work so Im not getting dehydrated.

Probably not a good thing to do, but I cant stay awake
