So yesterday I turned 33 weeks and decided to try a cup of coffee since I haven't had any caffeine since finding out I was pregnant ( mind you I used to drink 3-5 cups of coffee a day and soda and just quit it cold turkey). Well after researching caffeine intake when breastfeeding I read that not having caffeine while pregnant can make it harder for the baby to digest it and I don't think I can go another year without it. Needless to say I'm surprised I was able to fall asleep at 3am, woke up at 5:30 ( I wake my 14 year old up between 5:45-6 for school), fell back asleep woke up wired at 6:58, tried to fall back asleep for 2 hours and nothing. My husband has been laughing his butt off because he coaxed me into drinking the coffee ( he made it at dinner time). I am still wired 😨

This is actually true for any food and any person. If you go a year without eating meat, you can't just pick up a hamburger one day. I rarely had dairy when I was pregnant and it's now still off limits even though I do try here and there to reintroduce it in lower lactose levels.

That's true, I stopped doing as much dairy when I found out they were giving cows hormones and it was coming out in their milk. I was diagnosed with pcos and my dad brought me home an article because a guy at works daughter had something similar and it was linked to the hormones in milk. Now I have a hard time having dairy though I try to drink milk on occasion for the baby. @emily18234

Im a coffee and iced tea addict. my doctor told me not to quit cold turkey she said one cup of caffeine a day will not harm the baby. coffee makes me wired now so I only have a half glass of tea a day. I quit when i found out inwas pregnant and had major headaches everyday.

I had a mild headache last night, I surprisingly didn't go through caffeine withdrawal when I stopped. My doctor said I could have up to 3 servings a day, but having a history of miscarriage I didn't wanna chance it. She said all caffeine really does is increase my heart rate which I guess increases the babies. Now that I know the baby is fully developed and almost ready I felt more comfortable trying caffeine again. But I think every other day till my body gets used to it again. I'm a need something to help keep me up when the baby gets here :)
