I had to completely cut out caffeine with this pregnancy b/c I have a rapid heart rate and get palpitations if I drink 1 drop of caffeine. My resting rate right now is between 100-110. With DS resting got up to 140 right before I had him...so I hope it doesn't get that bad this time...anyway, I am a major coffee addict - 2-3 cups a day and that doesn't count my diet mt dew addiction. I've been okay so far but all of a sudden I am CRAVING coffee. I tried to fool myself with a cup of hot cocoa this morning but it's just not the same

Are you allowed to have decaf, or does that still have too much residual caffeine? I switched to it when I was pregnant, but it sure isn't the same!

Nikki , Hershey's makes a cocoa called Goodnight Kisses that doesn't even have the insignificant amount of caffeine in it from the chocolate. Maybe you could add a flavored syrup to that? Fooling the tastebuds is hard. |

ME TOO! Luckily I don't have to give it up entirely when I'm pregnant, but I only have caffeinated coffee once a week. I'm sitting here dreaming of a cup while I try to stay awake and take care of my 2 cranky kids...

What about caffeine-free Mt. Dew? Or is there any kind of coffee drink mix that wouldn't have caffeine?

Ohhh boy I remember that when I was pregnant. I'm addicted to Diet Coke in the worst way and I know exactly what you mean about caffine-free products not being the same. Maybe you can sneak in a very small cup of coffee, sometimes just a few sips helps a lot!

I switched to green tea while I was pregnant, and I still drink it. I just add a little bit of honey and lemon and it's YUMMY!

I think it's amazing that you've cut it out completely!! Good for you!! I get those cravings for a Pepsi and I have to indulge!!! Something about the taste!! Hopefully your resting heart rate doesn't get as high this time!!
