Coffee Weaning?

Question

Anyone else trying to decrease their coffee intake? 7 weeks today and I’m under the 200mg limit but still feeling super guilty. How’s your progress?

Answer

Aprox 6w and I'm DYING trying to survive without coffee....😭
I used to be a total POT-head (hehehe...it's punny) and would drink anywhere from a full pot of coffee, to 3 pots a day...just to stay on top of everything and keep up with my toddler.
I'm still well over the recommendation...I can't function otherwise, but I've weaned myself down to around 3-4 cups a day...which is SERIOUS progress. I'm trying....god am I trying. Hoping my body starts adjusting soon instead of me being afraid I'll fall asleep if I BLINK too long.
My 20mo son's FIRST sibling....I knew being pregnant with a toddler would be rough, but yikes! I just want to hibernate through this pregnancy 😵

Answer

With my last pregnancy and this one I do half caffeine. We have a Nespresso so the pods are only 150ml each and only half the caffeine so I allow myself two if needed throughout the day. I tried cold turkey with my daughter and I suffered very bad headaches, so reintroduced it once I could stomach it and my headaches went away :). We have a happy and healthy 13 month old :)

Answer

I still have coffee everyday! I can’t stomach the smell of hot coffee so I goto the gas station and buy iced coffee but I look up how many mg it has in it before I drink it. I’ve cut out most caffeinated teas & soda to be safe. I get the feeling

Answer

I’ve been doing a half scoop regular and half scoop decaf and so far it’s worked well for me. Some days I don’t have any coffee and other days I have a second cup. ☕️❤️

Answer

Yeah I'm 6 weeks roughly and omg... I've  gone from being an coffee addict to 1 iced coffee per day.. 😂😱😂😱😂 my poor partner haha

Answer

I cut out caffeinated coffee when we were TTC, after drinking it daily for 10 years straight. I did it over winter break (I am a teacher) and would not have survived if I didn’t have a place to sleep all day. The headaches were terrible too- I was on Advil for about five days straight. The next week was a bit easier, but still tired back at school. By week three, I was fine. I read that if you drink even just one cup a day, withdrawal effects can still last up to two weeks. If you drink several cups, withdrawal effects can last up to one month 😳 I was a caffeine addict and I quit when I never thought I could though! Good luck everyone and I feel your pain!!!

Answer

Honestly ... I’m really struggling. My Starbucks drink that I got every day.. was 225 mg, by itself.... I haven’t got it since I found out I was pregnant and I’ve felt soooo tired.. sometimes I get one that’s 150 mg and that’s all the caffeine I have that day, but not very often do I get it.. I miss mg coffee.. so bad..

Answer

3 days before I got my BFP, I had been running late and didn't have time for morning coffee for those 3 days,  which is the only time I drank coffee. I know we're allowed a limited amount of caffeine,  but I decided to just not drink anymore. I feel like if I continued,  it would be too much of a temptation to grab that second cup.

Answer

I quit cold turkey with coffee (was drinking 2-3 cups a day before) once I found out I was pregnant.

Answer
