Tips on cutting out soda and ecig? I’m down to 3mg on my ecig from 24mg when I started using it. And I tried just stopping cold turkey and it was a bad day....
With the soda I get horrible headaches if I don’t get my caffeine. I’m terrible about drinking water too so I need help stopping the soda and increasing the water!
@amberspringer, I swear quitting cigs was easier for me for some reason. When I got pregnant the first and second time I quit immediately no problem. Idk why the ecig is harder
@futuremrsbanks, exactly! I didn’t take mine with me anywhere so I couldn’t if I wanted to!
@fry.stephanie, I think I’m just going to stop taking it in to work with me and leave it in the car and break the habit/routine of hitting it when I go to the potty
I have one cup of soda in the morning and one at night! I also used a vape and hit it once before work and once after and within a week I was done!
I have a lg soda a day lol. When I found out I was pregnant with my youngest, I quit cold turkey on smoking the day my test said positive. Also sparkling water is a great soda alternative but you gotta watch out for aspartame. So limit those too.
@nikki9109, definitely gonna try those crystal light packets!
I hate water and wanted to cut down on soda but would get headaches also what I did was drank ate least one soda a day and got me some water bottles and used crystal light packets some fruit punch and pink lemonade cause those two are my favorite
106mg of caffeine in a 20oz. So no more than 2 a day...that I think I can do! 64 mg in a can .
I couldn’t cut soda out completely. I settled for 7up & sprite for my soda because there’s no caffeine in it, and when I would desperately need caffeine I would go to Starbucks and get a refresher (there’s minimal caffeine in it but there’s still some) as for dealing with the caffeine withdrawal headache you’re gonna have to wean yourself off of the caffeine like you’re doing with your cigarettes
If you don't like La Croix try Hint or Bubbly. It's the same really, but maybe you'll like it better. Try different flavors. It's something you have to get used to.
@swedishmomma, thanks. I will try getting some 0mg liquid and see how that goes. It’s more just the habit of doing it and having it in my hand I think for me.
Idk why I’m more concerned about the caffeine. I just drink like only soda and that’s not good even when not pregnant! And I’m a nurse! So I should know better 😔
@incognit0, not a fan of coffee. My goal is to get down to only one soda a day
I had to quit my ecig when I found out I was pregnant too. I was also at 3mg. What I ended up doing was switching to 0mg, to trick my habit of even having it in my hand and vaping and did it less and less. The nicotine withdrawal sucks, took about 2 weeks of wanting to rip my eyes out, but, all in all i felt better i had zero and was able to kick it all together.
As for the caffeine, you can still have a certain amount equal to one cup of coffee, but I also had to quit that because my bub was kicking like a mad woman with any caffiene. So I went to decaf everything. And started getting those yummy crystal light powders to put into ice water to train myself to drink more.
It totally sucks when quiting, but you got this and will be totally worth it!
@jellybeans33, I’ve tried laCroix and hated it. What is good!? With flavor?
I was going to suggest that also seltzer or sparkling mineral water they have a ton of flavors what ever you are into citrus or berry
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
