Caffine and chocolate obsession
Hi Ladies,
I know one of the perks of been pregnant is that u can have weird cravings and freaky obsessions and no-one will bat an eyelid. Its just im getting abit worried about my obsession with caffine. Iv gon from been someone who dint even drink hot drinks (especially coffee), to having between 5-7 cups a day. I dnt always have coffee sumtimes have tea, but im worried drinking this much might have some sort of effect on baby. The other thing is everytime i have a hot drink i have to have something chocolately with it, whether its a choc bar or just a choc biscuit. But if i carry on im gona be the size of a house, iv already put on 1st 3lbs at 25wks. Does anyone have any tips on how to curb/change cravings, and do u think my caffine in take is too much? Advise please ladies. Kerry xxx

I did find when i was pregnant with my son that my cravings didn't last very long and as soon as i was over something i couldn't stand the thought of it.....weird!
sorry not much help, x
I think it depends what kind of coffee you drink as to whether what you're drinking is too much...If it's filter coffee they say drink 3-4 cups a day but if it's instant then it's fine to drink 6 cups as its not as strong. I would defo try decaff as it doesn't taste any different to me!
