Going off tea and coffee - pregnancy sickness

Anyone else found that they have gone off coffee and tea completely when nausea started? It's so sad because I stocked up on decaf teabags and ground coffee and my partner used to make me a coffee on weekend mornings but now it's just a sad glass of water. Can't wait to get back into my coffee morning rituals! (As soon as I can stomach the thought of it)

I can drink tea fine but can only drink the emmi or start ready made coffees cannot drink hot coffee

I completely went off tea and coffee while I was pregnant.. and that’s going from about 3 cups per day, to nothing. I bought myself all decaf tea and coffee as well, but just the thought of it made me feel sick!
Started having some hot chocolate in my second trimester.

same! I drank coffee so much before and since the sickness started it's been 0! But I've been majorly thirsty. I've had a few hot chocolates, it's helped me with my sickness weirdly.

That was how my husband knew I was pregnant with both babies even before I had taken a test. I drink sooooo much tea and coffee during the day but when I am pregnant I can’t even stand the thought of it!

@paloma I also started drinking hot chocolate instead because I still wanted something nice and hot to drink. Now I still have a hot chocolate in the evening

same! It helped with my sickness! But, I was worried about having too much sugar, so I even bought myself a low sugar one to have at home 😅

Same ! I fancy a hot chocolate now in the evenings, every so often, ever since pregnancy

Oh I did, couldn't drink tea throughout the whole of both my pregnancies. The moment they were born I was chugging it down by the gallon!

Me too but I started drinking that herbalife tea and it was amazing for me!! Caffeine in it too

Try iced coffee. I couldn’t stand hot coffe, but loved (more like obsessed!) with iced lattes!

I am pleased to report I could drink tea and then coffee (decaf ofc) after around 18 weeks which was when my sickness started easing 🙂 hang in there mammies!

Absolutely lost with due date 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

So I’ve just had my 100th scan and the sonographer was really confused so read through every single one of my reports (there’s a lot , it took her 50 minutes!) and it’s now been decided (AGAIN!) that my due dates wrong 🤦🏼‍♀️
Has anyone had their due date changed 8 times in one pregnancy? I’ve had every date between the 17th-23rd at this point 🤦🏼‍♀️

Baby Movements

Hi, i’m nearly 27 weeks with a typically very active baby boy. Last 24 hours his movements have been significantly lower and hadn’t felt anything yesterday afternoon, evening or into the morning today. I had a routine midwife appointment and she sent me to triage for monitoring, the kept me on machine for just over an hour and said baby’s heartbeat is looking good but movements are still low. Has anyone else had any similar experience? Still feeling quite anxious about it all xo

6 month change

Is anyone else sad about the changes their babies will be facing soon!
I remember I couldn’t wait to have my space back with my first.
But I’m actually crying thinking about moving my second into a room on her own. Or even getting rid of the carry cot and the bouncers!
Maybe it’s because she’s our last or maybe we know this is when the circus starts but I don’t know I think it’s so sad 😢

Our little rainbow baby is here❤️✨

We welcomed Ember May to the world after 5 long years of waiting for her ❤️✨

4 past her due date

I had a sweep Saturday morning and started contractions at 5 mins apart at 7:30 on Sunday, quickly got to 3 mins apart, arrived at hospital for 10:30 at 7/8cm, started pushing at 15:15 and gave birth at 16:32, home by 10pm! It was an amazing positive magical experience and so grateful to have had such a good pregnancy and labor!

Epidural was AMAZING, highly recommend 😂

Should I worry?

My LO is 6 months old in 2 weeks (was due in Nov).

He is just starting to show signs he wants to roll back to front but has no interest in trying or wanting to sit up. He has great head control but is happy laid on his back and is fine with tummy time too.

I know the guidance for weaning is 6 months but I don’t think my little guy is ready for it.

I know babies move at their own pace but starting to hear people say “is he doing this yet” is starting to get to me and now I wonder if I should worry?

Omg!!

Please tell me I am not pregnant!! Been fasting 18 hours a day for the past month!! I just spent 12 hours in the spa. I did the hot sauna 😩 omg I am worried now ill check again in the morning. I am 1 day late!
