Before i got preg i was a big coffee drinker. Couldnt start me day without one. then once i parked at work id nip the cafe up the road and get a grande cappicacino *sp* then throughout the day. Would be a mixture of coffee from the coffee machine in work and nipping the cafe.

Well as soon as i found out i got preg i decided to stop completely. I went cold turkey on smoking, drinking and i thought while i was cutting things out i would cut out coffee. because i drank far to much....

well as the weeks have gone on ive had no prob with fabs and drinks......but coffee has slowly slipped back into me life.....

But the last 2 weeks i cant get enough of it. I do have de-caf cappicino and de-caf coffee.....but it aint the same. So every day i allow meself a cup of a normal one.......but it tastes so so so so so good!!!

Anyone else loving coffee at the mo??? but trying to restrict yourself??? Or have you been able to cut it out your diet?? or have you just continued as normal throughout???

YUM

I cut back on coffee, because I found out I had pregnancy induced gallstones and apparently coffee can trigger a gallstone attack. I've started drinking nonfat lattes again though, and I can't get enough. I LOVE COFFEE I think one a day is fine.

Hiya ema hun, hope you're ok? Battling through?

I cut caffeine right down when i found out i was pregnant, started de caff coffee and careful about the amount of chocolate i ate (not that i eat a lot anyway tbh) but then... I developed a desire for pepsi i've started sneakin an extra cup of (caffinated) coffee into my day aswell

Between caffine, all this sugary stuff i want and less exercise from being physically incapable of climbing the stairs in one breath anymore let alone walking miles its no wonder the mw told me Lo's a 'good sized baby'

I never drank coffee before I was pregnant, but now I follow OH around when he has a cup, stealing gulps of it!

I am really into Costas Mochacinno's just now too, I have a couple a week so I don't get addicted! Oh now I really want one!

How you doin Ema? Still getting pains?

I cut right down on coffee during the first and most of the second trimester but have to admit that I now enjoy at least one cup of filter coffee (and usually two ) a day. My day never seems to start the same without it!! I also have the odd cup of tea too.
