I am craving coffee all the time. I am drinking two 8 oz. cups a day. My OB says this is okay, but I'd rather not drink caffeine at all. And decaf doesn't do the trick and soda makes me sick.
Anyone know what I could do?

Maybe you could try coffee flavored snacks and candies. I personally don't like them, but I see them in stores every now and then. Other than that, maybe keep working on the Decaf. I am a cokeaholic and it took me awhile to get use to the caffeine free version. It doesn't bother me anymore to drink. I still prefer the real thing, but this satisfies my cravings.

2 cups of coffee a day is fine. If you want to cut back on caffeine you can try half caf/half decaf.

yea drink the coffee LOL. thats my cure. Trust me when i tell you that having 2 cups of coffee a day isnt going to hurt you or your baby. If you crave it, need it, want it, whatever lol just have two cups a day :) You'll be just fine and will have a healthy strong little baby like all of mine :) Ive drank coffee with all of them, and usually its more then 2 cups a day :)

Start using the half caffeine kind and you can have 4 cups for the same caffeine!!

They're all right, 2-5 cups a day is healthy. Caffeine is safe and is a great stimulant.

Then dont drink it. You might have a headache for alittle while but its the bodies withdrawl from the caffeine.
