I miss caffeine!!!

[nikkiARNGwife]

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

Aww! That's too bad! I never could break the caffeine habit with my pregnancies. It's so hard!!

mmm those look good though!

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.

I quit caffeine three years ago and have never looked back.

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!

what about coffee-flavored something (um, like ice cream? ) is that still too caffeinated. or a coffee flavored candy like coffee nips? actually that might make me want coffee more . . . so nm.

i don't know if I could give up coffee . . .
