Caffiene alternative?

[Kayblondeau]

anybody know a good caffeine replacement. I have a hard time functioning and doing things without a cup of coffee and get killer headache if i dont drink any but since i became pregnant...I cant stand the taste it makes me sick :( but i need something that helps so I can actually do things during the day ugh! HELP

Maybe use a creamer that smells and taste good. I can't stand the smell of coffee so if I really want some I go to Starbucks and get a vanilla latte. Before I got pregnant I just drank a regular cup everyday but I don't drink nearly as much now. Maybe a cup every week or two.

Just switch to decaf. It doesnt have nearly as much caffeine.

I agree pmaried, I think its a lot smoother :) I drink about 2 cups of hot tea and a little sugar, or 1 cup and 1 can if caffeinated soda. I can't wait to pop so I can start enjoying my coffee and Starbucks again :)

You sound just like me! Not pregnant i LOVE COFFEE & caffeine too.. but now i gag even smelling coffee. I switched to drinking hot tea instead & although the caffeine dose is a lot less than coffee, its smoother and i really enjoy it. I use 2 tea bags and a little sugar..

Eat an apple first thing in the morning instead a coffee. I had to replace coffee as well and that is the only thing that worked for me

Yes soda is the way to go, or chocolate lol I crave chocolate all the time. But make sure you drink plenty of water after :)

Oh man I went thru that will my youngest. I had to drink soda with caffeine. I was Also told I could take caffeine pills but I don't rember how many mg she said to not go over

Oh hun I'm the same way. I love coffee, been drinking it since I was 7, but as soon as I got pregnant coffee made me sick. I would get headaches from not drinking it. I drink hot tea or a small can of soda. Its not the same at all but it holds me over :)

[Kayblondeau]

i dont mind my cup of coffee it just makes me sick smelling amd drink it. it just doeant agree with my tummy at this stage. lol so im trying to find an alternative to get my caffeine fix that is still safe.

I was the same way and my doc told me my daily cup of coffee wasn't going to hurt my baby. So I have my daily coffee :)
