Caffeine addicted pregnant people with nausea

[daisy24342]

I drank my normal cup of coffee every am. I used to drinks several cups but I cut back. But I at least had one or two! I found it helped my nausea.

[Velar Fricative]

The nausea hit me pretty bad this week and I've either made my coffee cups smaller or drank no coffee at all. I've been going to bed early too, as a result.

Is soda an option?

[kaycee]

Diet Pepsi was my solution. I know not the best for me, but the caffeine and bubbles really help with survival.

[humpforfree]

I drink 2-3 cups of half caff coffee. I typically drink half caff, so it's not really change for me though.

[water*drop]

I had an aversion to coffee once the nausea kicked in. Sometimes I could handle tea, but most of the time I went with soda when I had a headache until the aversion went away toward the middle of the second tri.

[everafter07]

I drank a cup of coffee a day. I also got headaches my whole PG, but I think it was from hormones, not caffeine...

[runblondie26]

Normally, I drink hot, black coffee.

I've switched to iced coffee with ample milk and sugar. It tastes like chocolate milk to me.

[Saudade]

I drank whatever I could stomach. Second time around it was fountain dr. pepper or barq's. I only sipped enough that I could stomach, usually only a few sips. But it was enough to quell the headaches.

[nachos]

Soda - I know that it isn't the best, but the bubbles help keep me alive.

Cherry coke is my favorite pregnant drink.

I was having issues with tea, so I changed up how I made it. I switched to British blend with honey and lemon. That seemed to calm my stomach a bit.

[mcfelix]

I've been having an aversion to hot coffees that started around 6 weeks, so I've been getting iced coffee. Thank you Dunkin donuts.

I have a hard time with coffee during first tri. I actually drank a lot of regular coke, because it has caffeine and is kind of heavy, which helped to settle my stomach.

[lulu21]

I drank half caf or a lot of iced tea. It seemed to do the trick.

Barqs has caffeine? Mind = blown

lol Yes!

Side note: so does Sunkist 

[degal99]

Soda was the only thing I could stomach.

I have been substituting in Mountain Dew but i feel guilty. CHEMICALS

Diet Mt. Dew kept me sane! 

[sjh722]

Also, do you have your first appt soon? Ask for Diclegis or Zofran.

I didn't think mine was "that bad" to ask for meds, but Diclegis made a big difference. (It's just Unisom +b6, but I think it's dosed out throughout the day. It helped more than OTC unisom + b6.)

I had to stop for 1st Tri because all of it made me sick.

[statlerwaldorf]

I've been drinking coffee. If I drink it as soon as I get up, it seems to help. My nausea usually peaks during the afternoon.

[carolinagirl831]

A real coke, drinking a coke at lunch helped a lot. If I didn't I'd have a. Killer headaches around 4 pm

Diet Mountain Dew ... that was what I did.  Confession: I love it and drink one every day still.  So far, my kids seem fine

[traveljunkie13]

I've found that if I wait until about an hour after a decent breakfast (and if I eat a snack with it) I can do coffee or hot tea without getting sick. If I try to drink it first thing (or even with my main breakfast) I feel like crap.

Soda

[ladygrey]

I've still been drinking coffee in the mornings, but I can only have one cup before it tastes gross. A soda in the afternoon tastes okay too.

That is why the advertising campaign was "Barq's has bite". Apparently Diet barq's and Barq's from the Coke Freestyle machines do not (I had to look up the wording of the add and found this out ).

I didn't know about the caffeine for a very long time.

[zeewifeandmama]

I had a really bad aversion with my second pregnancy and ended up drinking reeeaaaalllyyy cold black tea

[cjeanette]

regular coke was a lifesaver.

[pooh8402]

cokes. specifically Dr Pepper for me. the carbonation helps with the icky stomach. I am so caffeine addicted that I get headaches by 9 or 10 am if I don't have caffeine.

although this is one of the reasons I am sooooo glad that coffee wasn't an aversion for me like it was for my sister. I love coffee in the mornings. I was usually good as long as I had a glass of milk before drinking coffee (had some weight/protein in my belly).

[calico]

I gave up my daily latte once it started to taste gross. I drank soda but still I got bad migraines in my 1st and 2nd trimesters requiring RX drugs.

[countthestars]

I'm basically falling asleep at all times. Nothing is doing it for me. I was very lucky to be past the headaches after a couple of days.
