Just commit to it and stick with it. As far as the caffeine goes, as others have said you just have to cut back, I, too, drank a lot of caffeine before, but now that I know I don't drink much. I have found that Diet Rite sodas help me out a lot...they come in different flavors and they are all caffeine free and made with Splenda. Best of luck to you!

To minimise symptoms, which include headaches, fatigue, and lethargy, ease off gradually. Cut back by half a cup of the beverage each day. You can also try switching from freshly brewed to instant coffee. If coffee fills an emotional need, such as your private coffee break, or it's an early morning ritual or the perfect end to a meal, you could switch to a cup of decaffeinated coffee or tea. If you're hankering for an ice-cold cola, reach for the caffeine-free version at least some of the time or, better yet, try a glass of mineral water with a dash of lime cordial. You are allowed up to 300mg caffeine in a day (recommended limit)... Mountain Dew has 55mg. Check out these other drinks: As far as smoking goes, that one is tough! I luckily only had the urge to smoke while drinking - and well, I definitely gave up drinking the moment I found out I was pregnant! The thought of smoking made me sick...it's cool now because I am 33 weeks and haven't smoked in 30 weeks! Each time I would be tempted to light one up, or actually light one up, I'd take at most a drag and think about what it was doing to my baby... it would make me sick and I'd throw it out, now I have no urges!

They would rather me not stress since it would get the baby stressed. I'm not telling you not to quit but just cut back slowly until you don't need any at all. Good luck it's a hard habit to break.

Thats about 2-3 cups. As for smoking, wean yourself off as best you can. I think you have the right idea about not shocking your body, but quit asap. 300mg of caffine per day is thought to be safe.
