I had already weaned down to two cups of coffee (and was drinking half decaf). So yesterday after my appt I stocked up on a bunch of lemon and peppermint tea. I didn't have any coffee yesterday and haven't had any today. I have had to take Excedrin the last two mornings because I get headaches if I don't have my coffee. Excedrin has caffeine in it so I don't know if I am really accomplishing anything here or just trading vices. Tomorrow I am going to take just one Excedrin (if I need it) and hopefully wean myself off the Excedrin.

I get really horrible headaches when I am pregnant so I probably ought to start getting used to them.

That's great that you were down to 2 cups! Weren't you drinking like 18 pots of coffee or something crazy like that?!

It took me over a week to kick my coffee habit -- I felt awful every day. And then one day, my body seemed to decide that it wasn't so bad after all. Make sure to drink lots of water so your body stays hydrated (that could help ward off any headaches).

You can do it!!

I feel for you. I went through the same thing with the headaches, and those headaches are pretty bad from caffeine withdrawal. I got myself some small bottles of diet pepsi and sipped on them throughout the day to try help. And drinking as much water as you can does help some.
