addicted to my killer. so to speak

[jordangirl]

I only have one kidney, I lost it at 7month. The doctor prescribed my mom to much calcium when she was pregnant with me and it gave her kidney stones and pretty much killed my left kidney. Well I know your not suppose to have caffeine that it effects the one kidney I have. And I also found out recently I'm 7 weeks pregnant and doctor said I really need to watch my sugar and caffeine intake. But my problem is.. I'm addicted to caffeine. Its so hard for me to get away from it. I need help and I need ADVICE on how to stop.

I'm 20 btw. Please help

Hello and hope you are doing well.

You could try softer caffeine versions like green tea, which is supposed to be a good anti oxidant too.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

graudally replace very second cup with decaf, then third etc do it over a few weeks if need me till get right down to decaf only.  If you stop suddenly then you will epxerience headaches etc.   People live long and healthy lives on one kidney whcih can easily do the work of two, that is why live donors can safely donate one of theirs :)  It would be more fopr the pregnancy than anything else
