the rule nazi!!

I just want a tiny amount of caffine, like an iced tea. He says NO! Eventhough they told me at class we could!!

He left to go to choir practice and he told me to nap! I know im tired but im not 5 LOL

you're allowed to have some caffeine.... there's no rule against it

I have to sneak it LOL Like its contraband LOL I just want a glass of iced tea!

I have a few pepsi's a day and me and the baby are all good. It's ok to have caffeine

I was told by the dietician that you have one cup of something. Even my boss who is also a PA told me that!

my ob told me 2 servings a day was ok. Before I went on med leave I would grab a diet mt dew at work and drink that.

I have been making sun tea like a mad woman and I started using decaf and splenda for mine...it was not helping my sleeping at night problem!! LOL

Doctors and professionals will tell you not to eat or drink just about anything under the sun...I had coffee all through my pregnancy with Kat, and I never swore off caffeinated drinks during any of my pregnancies (although I don't drink coffee anymore).
*shrug* I think the only absolute no no's are drugs (legal and illegal) and booze (although some docs say 1 glass of wine a week is fine).

Everything in moderation. Pregnancy doesn't have to be a diet :lmao Just got to be sensible and eat healthy (although you should always be sensible and eat healthy), I kept eating everything I would normally eat :dunno.

You can have up to 300mcg of caffeine a day....preferably spread out....

Its okay to have some just not like the entire pitcher of tea... a glass or 2 a day won't hurt you.
I drank a coke or 2 a day when I was preggo with Jer... my Dr said just don't drink a 12 pack a day. Now when it came to my sweet tea or iced coffees... I always got decaf... A while back I tried the caffeine free and I couldn't taste the difference and I don't need the caffeine rush I never feel it anyways :P.

My old boss smoked 2 pks of cigs a day AND drank a 12 pk of mt dew a day and wonders why she delivered 11 weeks early!!!!

This always reminds me of our italian neighbors we had when we lived off base in Yokosuka... She used to come over when I was pregnant with my first and bring me a bottle of red wine and say "You are not drinking enough wine. You are pregnant and the baby needs it." :lmao

They always told me once you get past 3 months it's not as big of a deal.

Your husband needs to chill you are still you a person with rights not just an incubator for YOUR (meaning the two of you not just him) child. A grown woman does not need to be told what she can drink and when to nap. Sorry that came out sort of bitchy but really you do have rights to what you are doing with your body and it rubbed ME wrong. I feel bad for you living with all of his rules.

Your husband would be shocked to discover just how much caffine my OB/Midwife team in NH OK'd with my last pregnancy I was shocked myself. Yet happy all at the same time I love my coffee and tea.

Dh was like that with me when I was pregnant. I would sneak a little after he went to work.

DH was like that in the beginning..lol espically when I Was having MS..he kept bugging me to eat really slow and I cant have soda and etc..but eventually he found something else to take up his time besides me lol.

:screwy
Oh well, its ya'll first right. Just wait until you have another one, all the "rules" will fly out the door :lol

He did find another hobby he asked me about it last night when I was in and out of sleep! So hopefully he will take his mind off of it!

I agree Kat! With our next he should be like who cares LOL

I drink tea all the time. When I had my first son they recommended I dirnk decaf tea because I was having trouble staying hydrated and apparently caffeine dehydrates you. I drink some soda every once in a while though. I think as long as its not too much its fine. It is sweet of your husband to care so much though!
