My Morning Cup


For more than 10 years, I've been drinking coffee every morning... Just 1 cup... That's it... I used to believe that it's my "perk me up" thing... But now that I'm 5 months pregnant, I'm having severe heartburns and nausea caused by gastronomic acid reflux, errr, whatever... Anyway, I'm trying hard to force myself not to eat or drink anything acidic... I stopped drinking soda, Iced tea, and juices, the only thing I regularly take is coffee... Sadly, I had to stop my morning cup ritual... It may be the cause of this reflux...

For 3 days, I didn't take my morning cup... I just had a cup of hot water... On the first day, I had a terrible headache, the whole day... I didn't take any meds coz' I thought it would be over when I sleep... The 2nd day, still the same, no coffee, headache whole day... 3rd day, no coffee, headache whole day...

Today, I returned my 10 year habit... Gulped my morning cup... To my surprise, no headaches, no heartburns...

Could that headache be a caffeine withdrawal syndrome???

Anyway, being a guinea pig myself, I shall now drink my morning cup everyday, and just make do with water the rest of the day... Maybe that'll help...

By the way peeps, sorry for the long absence of posts... This pregnancy makes me throw up whenever I turn on my computer... Jeezzz... Wondering how long will this end???
