Anyone else a pre-pregnancy caffeine junkie?

[imoan]

I have a MAJOR problem with caffeine. On a daily basis I used to drink at LEAST 8 GIANT cups of coffee and at least 2 Diet Pepsis. I looooove caffeine.

I've actually been doing REALLY well. Previously I had been having one big cup of half-caf coffee. And like one or two caff free Diet Pepsis.

Now I can't even really stomach coffee. I kept making it and then taking like 2 sips out of it and pouring the rest out. It's so sad. I think coffee is my one, main "food" aversion so far this pregnancy.

However, I just discovered the Green Mountain apple cider k-cups. SOOOO DELICIOUS! Between that and peppermint tea, I'm not even missing coffee (although I miss the idea of a delicious cup of coffee that sits well in my stomach and makes me happy).

Not caffeine related.. But my main pregnancy food aversion has been my second favorite food.. Tacos ): I'm a sad girl without Mexican food, but the thought of it makes me gaggy

Eta also I need to go find these apple cider kcups! That sounds amazing!

Someone suggested drizzling a little caramel in the mug before using the k-cup... then it tastes like caramel apple! I'll have to try it!

During the first trimester, coffee was totally unappealing to me. Like you I'd have a few sips, get totally nauseated, and have to dump it out. It made me sad, but surprisingly I didn't get any caffeine headaches.

Now I am having about 8 ounces of coffee a day. I don't drink soda, so this is my sole source of caffeine throughout the day and I am so happy to not have been permanently turned off to my cup o' joe!

underwaterrhymes- I'm SHOCKED that I haven't been getting caffeine headaches either. I went off caffeine ONCE back in the day when everyone was doing Atkins ::hangs head in shame:: My boss at the time offered to bring me to the hospital because I was in HORRIBLE shape. I couldn't lift my head off my desk. This time I've been absolutely fine!

I appreciate the support

imoan - I KNOW! I was blown away because any time I've tried to give up caffeine I've been plagued with horrible headaches. It was a happy mystery that it didn't happen this time around.

IT HASN'T SHIPPED YET!!! Day= ruined.

I drank at least 5 cups a day before getting pregnant, and now it's one of my biggest aversions! I almost puked walking past starbucks the other day since the smell was so strong.

I, unfortunately, have been getting headaches, so I've been pouring myself 1/4 coffee, 3/4 milk in a cup and drinking that about once every other day. Enough to take the edge off, but not enough to make me nauseous.

I'm still on one grande coffee or a tea latte every day!
