i went to a wedding and drank a lot because i thought there was no way i could be pregnant (or i would have abstained!). turns out i was pregnant with charlie!

with olive we tried so i abstained!

I drank coffee and through TTC, BFP and pregnancy, just limited the amount of caffeine I would have every day. I don't drink, so that wasn't an issue.

I don't drink coffee, but I kept drinking tea right through pregnancy, I just limited caffeinated tea to one cup a day. I hardly ever have pop but if I wanted one I still had one. As to alcohol, I cut back a lot - I gave up my nightly glass of wine - but I still had the occasional glass once I got out of the first trimester.

I voted wrong - I never gave up coffee/tea/soda during TTC, pregnancy or BF but I did give up alcohol

I drank and ate everything while TTC. After getting my BFP I kept drinking soda and coffee (I never drink more than one cup per day, anyway, unless it's a really bad day!). I completely gave up alcohol for the first tri and then limited to one per week (slowly on a full stomach) in the second and third tri.

I drank coffee, tea and soda all throughout NTNP and my pregnancies but didn't drink alcohol except for very special events (like New Year's).

I drank until it was pink with both girls, I still drank an occasional pop/caffeine while pregnant but not alcohol. I think I had a few sips of my DH's here and there and a handful of NA drinks but it wasn't in my palette either pregnancy.

I drank coffee/soda/tea throughout my pregnancy.

Alcohol, I drank during the TWW and gave it up once I had a BFP.

I was the same as @Adira. I think your poll might be off as you combined caffeine and alcohol together after a BFP.

I drank everything up to the BFP. And then moderation after. Coffee made me nauseous in the first tri (even smelling it) but once I got over that I had a cup a day, sometimes decaf sometimes regular. Depended on my mood.

I had a coke occasionally, but I definitely cut back.

I had 2 glasses of wine on my babymoon. We were in Italy, enough said.

I was on vacation during TWW so I drank more alcohol than I usually did and it was a BFP! I abstained all during pregnancy.

The first time we were TTC, I gave up alcohol during the 2WW, but since then, I have not (however, I rarely drink alcohol anyway so I think there was only one pregnancy where I actually drank anything during the 2WW anyway).

I always give up alcohol while pregnant, and I never give up coffee or soda, however I try to limit myself to 1-2 per day.

With my first we were trying and I cut way back on caffeine prior to bfp because I didn't want to have withdrawal if I couldn't stomach coffee in the first trimester- which was the case, the thought of it made me nauseous. I would have coke or iced tea occasionally though. Drank moderate amounts of alcohol until my bfp.

My second we were not trying or expecting this so I drank caffeine and alcohol up to my bfp. Continued drinking the max allowed amount of caffeine because I had a toddler who did not care if I was tired.

I've never been much of a drinker, so I didn't have anything to give up there. I kept drinking as usual while TTC and pregnant: One to two drinks at weddings, special occasions and on NYE.

When I started TTC I began cutting back my caffeine intake to a level I was comfortable continuing while pregnant. I didn't want my first few days of knowing I was pregnant to be defined by horrific caffeine withdrawal. I cut back a smidge more once I actually was pregnant.

I drank alcohol and tea in moderation while TTC (no soda because my acupuncturist had me on a low glycemic index diet due to my DOR). With my acupuncturist's diet plan, I was allowed a couple glasses of red wine on the weekends (no beer or mixed drinks that had a high sugar content), which I stopped when I got my positive. My tea consumption was steady throughout TTC and pregnancy. I have two cups of black tea a day.

I don't drink soda anyway, but I cut back on caffeine while TTC. I think I drank a cup of half-caf coffee per day during my TWW and during my first trimester. Now I don't have any caffeinated coffee, and rarely have a decaf coffee. I don't drink alcohol while pregnant. For me it's just not worth it, especially since it's only 10 months of my life.

I gave up alcohol when I knew I'm pregnant, but drank tea and coffee and decaf soda to the last. I drink weak coffee anyway, it was nowhere near the recommended limit. It was fine till week 38 - then the coffee started giving me heart palpitations and I figured it's time to stop.

Gave up alcohol beginning during the week of ovulation, continue to abstain throughout pregnancy. Didn't drink coffee regularly during the first tri- maybe once a week, began drinking it daily in the second tri- I have about two cups a day. I don't drink any other caffeine.

With my first pregnancy I was so blissfully clueless.. I knew nothing of what I know today. Through my pregnancy I gave up all alcohol, but I drank coffee the whole time, I drank diet coke (in moderation, but I saw it as my treat) and during the two week wait - oof! I drank wine most nights with dinner, and had at least two party nights where I drank at least 3 drinks, and smoked pot.. NOW?! Now I have given up coffee even when we are in the BD'ing mode. I BARELY drink alcohol, I have my husband on limited alcohol, and I wouldn't touch a diet soda with a 10 foot pole.. Truthfully, I am not sure if all this is helping or possibly hurting my TTC this time around.. I am torn.. I feel like maybe I need to take a load off, and relax a bit.. But I can't "un-know" all the information I have read. And once you have a MC, it's scary to consider maybe your life choices played into it.. It does feel nice though, living such a clean lifestyle..

I gave up alcohol after my BFP (except for one glass of wine very late in my pregnancy), but drank up until then, including a drink or two when I was about 4 weeks and I *knew*
I was probably pregnant but hadn't tested yet. I cut down on soda and caffeine after my BFP, but still consumed it.
