The coffee-contraction connection

Yesterday, I didn't have my regular morning cup of coffee. I noticed I didn't have any contractions all morning, but just kind of wrote it off because I had had a good night's sleep for a change. I've been having between half-a-dozen to two dozen Braxton Hicks contractions a day since around 16 weeks. No matter how much water I drank, they still seemed to be there. This was a nice change!

When I ran errands in the afternoon, I decided to stop by The Black Cat for some yummy, warm coffee. An hour into my trip, I started having those pesky contractions, and the light bulb finally went off. Duh!

So, no more coffee for me. *sigh* At least my last cup during this pregnancy was a good one. I had Turtle Nut Roast (caramel and pecans), and it was delish.
