I will not drink caffeinated beverages when i'm pregnant, but what about decaf coffee?

1 It contains compounds that can irritate your urinary tract, even without the caffeine. From what the missus tells, me, that isn't comfortable, so I would switch to something lighter, like herbal tea. Even some of those can be dicey, though, so read up on them.

2 Talk to your OB/Gyn. They will give you guidelines on a "safe" amount of decaff drinks. Yes, there are still trace amounts, but I remember being told that it was so low that a decaff drink, here and there would be ok.(decaff tea) Also, if you drink caffeinated drinks on a regular basis, ask for the best way to stop - and to not be miserable!

Mine didn't advocate cold turkey - but it was faster than the normal weaning off of caffeine. (I stopped drinking caffeinated drinks in my first pregnancy and rarely, if ever drink them now. ) .

3 A doc will tell you a little won't hurt and decaf is ok. Your hubby needs to back off and let the doc tell you what to eat and drink. If you are used to a certain degree of caffiene, you can't just go cold turkey.

You will have withdrawal symptoms which can't be good for the baby either. I drank one cup of cappucino a day or 2 cups of regular coffee with all 3 of my kids. I am sure hubby wants the best for baby and you..but..he isnt the doc and neither are we.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
