I'll check those things out. </p> <p>Oh, I have add that pre-pregnancy, I loved hot tea, iced tea and pretty much all types of tea but since becoming pregnant, I can't stand the after taste of my go-to black teas. I did try a chamomile tea last week and I was able sip that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2142095 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:30:53 +0000 blackbird 2142095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, whatever the hell i still wanted, as long as I subscribed to the 200mg/day caffeine limit. I was really careful in my first tri based on my history of RPL. Even then, I wasn't drinking 8 cokes a day. But lots of gatorade and sparkling water in the first trimester. It's all I drank. Also those fruity San Pelligrino sodas...man they were good. Especially the citrus flavors like lemonade and grapefruit. COULD NOT GET ENOUGH. Water was effing nasty. Now i'm a 14-18 cup/day water drinker. So it was temporary for me. Some juice/mix-ins with my miralax every morning and evening (also nasty in plain water, didn't dissolve in sodas). Coke zero caffeine free ALWAYS hit the spot and was often what i had with dinner. I had to give up on coffee after a bit, but drank lots of hot tea with honey, since my first trimester was in the fall. </p> <p>@bluestriped bee: If you're up to blending your own shakes, I really like the MRM Natural chocolate with frozen banana chunks. It's mild so not SUPER rich tasting, if you're struggling with that. If you have a TJ"s near you, their 'pure protein' in the cans aren't bad, either, for an on-the-go drink. Not my favorite, but the ready-to-drink protein drinks are all generally kind of meh, and I've tried a ton of them. </p> <p>highly highly recommend the canned san pelligrino sodas in the first tri, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2142059 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:13:54 +0000 BSB 2142059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've have about 5 different kinds of beverages in my fridge right now. Simple Apple juice (similar to a cider), orange juice, orange carrot with another fruit juice, regular apple juice, cherry cranberry juice. Not in the fridge and kept in the garage is Coke, Gingerale, coconut water, assorted juice boxes like capri sun, gaterade, root beer and mountain dew. Oh, I'm not a water drinker. Too plain for me. </p> <p>For someone reason Coke out of the can is too carbonated for me, but if my DH goes to McDonalds, he grabs a coke for me. Fountain sodas go down easier for some reason. </p> <p>Since I have been issues with hyperemesis, a lot of these drinks will become gross after I throw it up. </p> <p>Right now, my hyperemesis is being controlled and I'm drinking gaterade and moutain dew. I was told by my dr to start eating more protein, but my appetite for solids is not quite there yet. So today, I grabbed a Odwalla strawberry protein drink (tastes kinda gross, but I'm sipping it.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2142039 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 11:58:03 +0000 Adira 2142039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coke only has maybe 35 mg caffeine per 12 oz...</p> <p>While pregnant, I drank coffee, coke, tea, water, juice, and milk! Lots and lots of milk (I craved it while pregnant)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2142028 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 11:49:45 +0000 pandapop 2142028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tons of water, V8 fruit/veggie juice to get my intake and I use a lot of drink mixes like Crystal light. They make it easy to change up flavors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141507 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 22:17:44 +0000 shellio 2141507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink coffee and water, I love seltzer water and we have a Sodastream which is awesome. And, I still enjoy an occasional small beer or glass of wine when I feel like it which is rare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141470 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 21:10:34 +0000 avivoca 2141470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank a ton of water, OJ, and split tea (half sweet, half unsweetened). I also drank a lot of coke, but I had to lay off that when it interfered with my sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141449 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 20:36:32 +0000 cascademom 2141449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Root beer, lemonade and LaCroix. I also ask bartenders for non alcoholic drinks as well. It's pretty fun to see what they can come up with. I drink coconut water or Gatorade when I'm feeling really thirsty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141369 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 19:18:47 +0000 Motherboy 2141369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loaded up on True Lemon and Lime packets and took them everywhere! I'm terrible at drinking plain water </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141358 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 19:08:42 +0000 MrsF 2141358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drank so much lemonade while I was pregnant with M! I had terrible heartburn in the third tri and I still couldn't stop drinking it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141342 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 18:08:22 +0000 mrscobee 2141342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lemonade!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141340 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 18:06:30 +0000 Finfan 2141340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of lemonade for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141305 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 16:26:57 +0000 simplyfelicity 2141305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been drinking half lemonade half iced tea (Arnold Palmer.) :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141304 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 16:25:18 +0000 buttermilk 2141304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sparkling water!

(decaf) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141296 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 15:48:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 2141296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HourThyme: actually the other day I had seltzer cranberry with a squeeze of lime and I would have sworn it was a cocktail if I hadn't made it myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141290 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 15:39:55 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2141290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HourThyme: I love mojitos but didn't think about asking for a virgin one. I'll have to try it next time I'm out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141273 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 15:13:20 +0000 HourThyme 2141273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>see! This is why I love you ladies! So many great choices here! I was a leeeetle nervous about getting a scolding and reminder that I am carrying life and it's wonderful and I shouldn't complain about what to drink! But I should have known better, you ladies are so supportive! :) </p> <p>I am going to go buy San Pellegrino and some soda for some soda-cran-lime mixes. Oh, and lemonade hadn't occurred to me! Oh, and virgin mojitos at bars/restaurants are sooo good! Yay! Im so excited, lots of drinks on my shopping list now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141264 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 14:57:54 +0000 Charm54 2141264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Water, water with lemon, and smoothies. I've been really big on berry smoothies this pregnancy. I'll have sprite or coke for a treat </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141261 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 14:54:58 +0000 hellobeeboston 2141261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sparkling water! Lots of it. Also cutting juice and Lemonade with sparkling water. Also San Pellegrino is so yum but full of sugar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141242 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 14:34:01 +0000 autumnleaves 2141242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my friends would have an alcoholic drink, I'd get root beer, ginger beer, Pellegrino with lime/lemon, or a mocktail. Once I was diagnosed with GD I limited it to Pellegrino with lime/lemon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141240 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 14:29:31 +0000 sapphire 2141240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I d id juice with sparkling water anytime I didn't want plain water. At bars or restaurants I'd ask if they could do virgin cocktails. Most of the time they came up with something fun for me. I also discovered drinking vinegars! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141238 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 14:25:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 2141238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: oh yeah- I drank OJ by the gallon! And now my DD loves oranges- I wonder go it's related. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141236 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 14:25:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 2141236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember this being a really annoying thing- especially when going out to eat. I like having a glass of wine, and generally don't really like soda not do I want the tons of sugar from it. </p> <p>I like to mix seltzer or plain water with juice- usually cranberry, sometimes pomegranate or something. And I did drink tons of coconut water at the end of my pregnancy (July 30 due date and a heat wave!). And lemonade or homemade decaf iced tea. Meh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141235 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 14:22:36 +0000 travellingbee 2141235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did those coconut waters and calories sparkling waters a lot. Also apple juice was a craving of mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-drink#post-2141232 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 14:19:56 +0000 HourThyme 2141232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such a silly concern but I figure why not ask. What are some of your favorite drinks while you're pregnant? </p> <p>Pre-pregnancy my go-to's were coffee, beer, coke, and the occasional tea.. Now, I have about a cup of coffee in the morning, no beer clearly, limited coke because of the caffeine (as in maybe 1x/week), and now I'm hearing that some teas are not allowed??? </p> <p>Clearly, I can just drink water but that's really not as appealing. I've bought coconut water, tried making iced tea, and buy some of those Naked Juices but haven't found drinks that I've really into yet. </p> <p>Any suggestions??/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-amp-breastfeeding#post-784760 Thu, 16 May 2013 03:08:35 +0000 aprk 784760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: that's good news! I was just thinking of this post bc I had a glass of wine on Tuesday night and A didn't sleep so well, but tonight he was totally fine and slept 6 hours (no wine). I'm gonna have to experiment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-amp-breastfeeding#post-784702 Thu, 16 May 2013 00:13:19 +0000 shopaholic 784702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>* Update: I had wine twice last weekend with no consistent fussiness! I'm hoping it's all okay to imbibe on occasion! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-amp-breastfeeding#post-766952 Wed, 08 May 2013 07:18:51 +0000 hilsy85 766952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you maybe try drinking a glass of wine WHILE nursing? Our pedi told us that was actually the best as far as timing, since the alcohol wouldn't even really hit the breastmilk until after LO was done, and then there was a chunk of time til the next time he ate. I hope she's not allergic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wine-amp-breastfeeding#post-766949 Wed, 08 May 2013 07:15:48 +0000 MamaBehr 766949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD didn't get sleepy when I drank wine, it made her have a worse night. I wasn't able to drink at all while nursing, well at least not before her bedtime! </p>
