Tea and Coffee

[reallyoldmum]

Both tea and coffee are making me feel sick - strange as up to a week ago I was drinking about 8 cups a day! I am also having trouble using a deodorant as the smell makes me retch!

Can anyone suggest anything hot to drink as an alternative? Feel cheated without a hot drink in the morning.

Ovaltine? It also had folic acid in it so it's good

Maybe a mild fruit tea...? Or does that also make you sick?
Lemon tea is very gentle.

I drank a lot of peppermint tea at the begining as it is soothing for the digestive system and is very refreshing to drink, it really helped me with my nausea.

I'd suggest peppermint tea as well, it's really nice and a lot of places sell it when you're out

I completely went off Tea (me.. the person drinking about 12 cups of tea a day!!! Sometimes more... ) So I had a variety of herbal teas, especially camomile tea which was quite easy to drink... Funnily enough I went off that too eventually...

Alternatively you can try warming up some milk and putting nesquick in it...

I'm the same, went from drinking gallons of coffee beforehand to tea then 2 weeks ago going right off tea too. hot chocolate worked for a while but now that too makes me sick!
i think ill try the hot blackcurrant !

I went off coffee with my DS and started drinking Horlicks and hot chocolate.

i used to drink coffee all day long but stopped when i found out, because of it being a bad idea. I dont miss it at all but at the same time when i have had the odd cup off decaf it hasnt made me feel bad. I'm drinking mainly earl grey tea - i know its still tea and caffeine but i make it really weak. I dont think i could give it up now!

 

[purplebeauty21]

chocolate drinks u may have to be careful with as they contain caffeine along with coffee and tea. you could try cup a soups, horlicks, hot milk and green tea is good also xx

I started a thread about fruit and herbal tea in the pregnancy chat section. Worth a look as there's some youy should avoid apparently.
