Help quitting caffeine?! I talked to my doctor and researched it and I've followed the no more than 200mg a day rule, I'm at 21 weeks and I've probably had caffeine 2/3 of the time. we found out were having a boy last week and that makes it so much more real that I feel too guilty and am trying to quit! on top of that I'm finishing my degree and trying to find a job so I feel like I need to treat myself with the only "naughty" thing I'm semi comfortable with :/
I've drank only coke so far, and my baby is growing just fine and is healthy. I gave up drinking my White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks the day I found out that espresso is too strong and bad for the baby. So the only caffeine I drink is coke at least 1 cup a day.
I drank Mt dew my whole nine months. and i have one healthy baby
Yeah at my half way U/S everything was fine, and I've even had a half cup of wine along the way too *gasp* I know every pregnancy is different but I'm really glad to hear your little girl is doing fine! going to get decaf tomorrow! :)
@gabeeileen, Alaura came out just fine! I ate eggs like that as well, I only drank coke or sweet tea though. I dropped the energy drinks and I hate coffee
The struggle is so real! especially when we have to quit everything else! they should make something so good that only preggos can have that way I feel vindicated! muhaha
yeah I've had 4 runny eggs since I found out that and caffeine are the worst I've done lol. but no negative effects after birth for your baby?
I have the same problem. my addiction is diet Pepsi. when I get stressed out it helps keep me calm from having a nervous breakdown. there's something about it that relaxes me when I start to feel super super anxious as well. I'm trying to watch how much I take in of it per day. the only tests they've conducted on pregnancies and caffeine relations is in animals. they haven't gathered enough research in humans yet according to my doctor. but most people when they're pregnant quit caffeine cold turkey or limit their intake and I'm over here struggling. my son is perfectly healthy though.
Yup, that's the plan but I go to dutch. Bros pretty often, and it's more energy drinks that get me! agh. And I've done the research, there is no proof caffeine has a negative effect after embryo stage where it can cause higher likelihood of MC.
I never followed the no caffeine. . I drank come my whole pregnancy lol I shouldn't have, but that's the worst I did.
Drink decaf. It makes it seem like your drinking coffee still just with out caffeine
Losing hope for our rainbow
So I'm 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I was at work last night and needed to use the the bathroom....tmi...when I looked down the toilet bowl was full of bloody water. When I wiped there was nothing. I've had no pain and more more bleeding since. I went to the er but there wasn't much they could do because I'm so early. They checked my levels (6140) and booked me in for an early scan on Friday. I feel like I've already lost the baby ? I don't know what to do
I'm currently 19 weeks and two days. I'm
No longer with my child's father, we don't even have contact with one another. I've lost excitement for this whole pregnancy, I feel
Like I'm going to fail my son. I've lost my appetite and spend most days in bed. I'm so depressed. I've been trying to stay positive but it's become so hard. I have no one to talk too, I feel so alone and I'm going through it alone. Everything is catching up with me and I don't know if it's my hormones or what but it hurts s...
So how do you Ladies feel about birth control. I'm against it cause I want my body to do what it naturally does. I've faced infertility issues so I'm not for it but my mom feels I should be on it after I have Tyson.
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
So I found out why I've been feeling so heavy. My baby is already 6lbs😖and I'm 34weeks only😫
I drink decaf coffee to make me feel like I'm drinking coffee lol and I will treat my self to one ice tea or Pepsi four times a week and it only has 57 mg of caffeine. I completely quit caffeine up until about 23 weeks though for miscarriage and health reason for baby but I had terrible cravings for it. Idk I just quit and said suck it up Emily you will be able to drink it again lol
