I have realized something

[sammilynn]

I have not drank a pop for almost a week and when I took a sip of my niece's pop this am it made me feel pukey. I think I'm done with pop for at least the first trimester, instead I'm on a green tea/ sweet tea / hot chocolate kick.

There's a lot of things I simply don't want.... Sadly I still can't give up my morning coffee! But then its herbal tea the remainder of the day if I want something hot!

See I've cut down my morning coffee to a few sips of dhs lol now don't get me started on water ugh I can not touch it and I'm gonna pick up some gatoraid to help with better hydration though its not too much better. Lol

I've just hit the point where I don't want to eat or drink certain things -- but I really DO want to... if that makes sense. My mind is saying "That sounds really yummy or I love eating that" and my stomach/baby just goes "meh, we don't really want that therefore its going to make you gag just thinking about it anymore... may as well give up now"....

Although I don't like to give in to all of my cravings etc -- I'm looking forward to the phase of the game where I'll start seeing something and REALLY want it and it tastes super good!! Although last night I bought some cinnamin-raisin rice pudding from the cooler at the grocery store because it sounded good!!

[sammilynn]

Yeah I'm at that stage too. Cinnabon cinnamon rolls sounded fantastic then I started eating and it's like nope you don't want this so I was stuck with apples and toast again. At least I can eat healthier food maybe I won't gain so much this time around lol

[WishingNat]

I have been eating a reasonably/normal amount -- just wish I really WANTED to eat something... plus with having this cold/sinus infection for the last week and a bit -- I simply wish I could TASTE my food again

[sammilynn]

I'm still under consumption lol I've lost some weight already but I'm at least able to keep some stuff down but I'm ready for the 2nd trimester so I can get over this lol about another month left and I might make it through Christmas lol

I read somewhere that Green Tea is not safe to drink during pregnancy...I'll see if I can find the info on it. It's one of my favorites too, and I quit drinking it all together when I found out I was preggo. My favorite thing has been the Orange Walmart brand Sports Drink. I can't get enough of it. That and Orange Koolaid.

This must have been what I read that makes it sound unsafe: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/ar...nant-mums.html

But upon further reading, it looks like it is okay in moderation, just like any other drink with Caffeine in it I would assume.

I usually can't stand pop ever. Right now a sip or two makes me feel better. So, I guess that I am the opposite of you in regards to pop right now.

[sammilynn]

Yeah I knew about that and really it's only a bit and my major tea consumption is decaf black tea so I'm ok.

[LilBunnieMcG]

Same here. Lost some weight, don't want to eat. I've been able to get meat down and I crave salt. My friend knew I was thirsty a few days ago but all she could find at a pit stop the other day was a bottle of Coke. I took one sip and haven't wanted any more. Not that I'm sad about this, just was really surprised since I love Coke. Been sticking to water and lemonade and ginger ale if I feel really nauseous. I keep dreaming about eating.

[MummytoShay]

I have found the opposite- the bubbles settle my stomach, so I crave cloudy lemonade. It's all crazy though, especially as I am off chocolate and spicy foods.

I can usually drink a little pop, and ginger ale or sprite helps when I'm nauseous. But yesterday at work we had a SodaStream party and I tried like 5 different kinds of pop plus a root beer float, and I felt sooo gross the rest of the afternoon! The smell of coffee makes me gag which is weird because I normally LOVE the smell of coffee! So I've been sticking to water, occasional pop, milk, and a little juice. Healthy food definitely makes me feel better than greasy stuff so maybe I won't gain as much this time around either!
