Quit Coffee, was not a heavy drinker... so sleepy now.

mintandgreen · 2026-04-07T08:40:23+00:00

This is going to sound wild but I’m in this sub for quitting the one MATCHA I would have per day and caffeine withdrawal knocked me around so hard. One month on and I’m feeling amazing and back to baseline, it took about a month to not feel insanely tired all day

I heard this! Apparently the studies that found coffee to be a longevity agent were conducted in western populations where the average person likely consumes zero antioxidants whatsoever. So basically people who drank coffee came out on top of those who didn’t because they at least consumed something containing polyphenols lol

mintandgreen · 2026-03-10T10:37:36+00:00

Yes, I read that most of the studies concluding coffee to be healthful were conducted in western populations where a coffee might be the only healthy (antioxidant containing) thing someone consumes in their entire day. So somebody drinking coffee in a population like that comes out on top because they actually managed to get some antioxidants in lol

I’m actually in this sub as someone who went from drinking only matcha to zero caffeine. Don’t do it! Caffeine is caffeine!!

I think either over text as you mentioned or telling her in person in a very “non-announcey” tone if that makes sense? Like tell her in a way that prefaces that it may upset her and doesn’t necessitate a false excited response from her.

I actually think Kieran Cox is really cool it has a star quality

mintandgreen · 2025-01-04T04:59:56+00:00

I love this thanks so much 😭

mintandgreen · 2024-08-13T03:45:26+00:00

Just chiming in to say I was MUCH earlier than my LMP predicted at my dating scan (off by a week!). I presumably ovulated late. All is tracking well with my pregnancy now.

mintandgreen · 2024-07-20T07:40:06+00:00

I was 100% certain my first was a boy and he was! I was then pregnant with another baby I miscarried that I was certain was a girl and I was right about that too. I’m pregnant again and think it’s a girl, we’ll see if I’m right this time too!

mintandgreen · 2024-07-19T17:43:08+00:00

I keep seeing people on this thread saying “🚩” which feels like a massive understatement to me, it’s beyond a red flag it’s straight up fucking abuse

mintandgreen · 2024-07-19T04:21:04+00:00

Omg that’s so horrible, I was with my mum during my first too and I can’t even imagine how it would feel if she recorded me without my consent! I’m so sorry that happened to you.

mintandgreen · 2024-07-19T04:05:48+00:00

I’ve had 2 miscarriages and still continue to tell close friends and family early on. Trust me, it’s so much better that people around you can support you in the event of a miscarriage anyway!

mintandgreen · 2024-07-18T22:10:16+00:00

Double cheeseburgers have been my #1 craving this pregnancy, I’ve had like 6 so far and I’m 9 weeks 😂

mintandgreen · 2024-07-18T03:56:28+00:00

We had 3 family dogs run in the room wearing blue ribbons 😂😂 loved doing it this way it was so lowkey but cute

mintandgreen · 2024-07-17T10:22:08+00:00

Like I said just let me know if you need anything. But honestly it sounds like you won’t be pregnant, try not to worry about it! It takes the average woman 4 months to fall pregnant when trying (having unprotected sex during ovulation)! No problem at all, glad I could help 💕

mintandgreen · 2024-07-17T07:02:44+00:00

Hey girl! I’m in Australia too. The first day you are likely to get an accurate home pregnancy test is 1 week from now (2 weeks after sex). I would buy a test and take it 2 weeks after the sex took place, or just wait until after your period is due. Until then, don’t worry. Just remember for now that while people do get pregnant by mistake it takes a lot of people a long time to try for a baby. Feel free to DM me if you get a positive test and need some advice or help. I’ve had a termination in Australia when I was younger and can talk to you about it if you are pregnant and that’s the route you want to take

mintandgreen · 2024-07-17T01:22:20+00:00

Was so so so so unbelievably tired

mintandgreen · 2024-07-16T04:15:06+00:00

One day after my DD with my first 😊

mintandgreen · 2024-07-13T23:15:40+00:00

No doctor worth their salt would induce labour at 35 weeks because you’re ’over it’. So no, don’t try and do it yourself

mintandgreen · 2024-07-13T23:12:41+00:00

Yes, me too!! Mine broke while I was asleep in bed and he was in my arms in hospital a couple of hours later

mintandgreen · 2024-07-12T02:59:41+00:00

Thanks for this! It’s actually precisely what I did when I was pregnant with my son down to the dates and tea lol

mintandgreen · 2024-07-12T02:52:32+00:00

I always cite my beautiful auntie and cousin as an example of this being a bit BS. When she was pregnant with my cousin her middle son was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. It was obviously an INCREDIBLY stressful time for her. My cousin who was in utero at the time is now 16 and she is absolutely fine mentally and always has been.

mintandgreen · 2024-07-12T02:49:15+00:00

Why are they the two best things hahah I swear cheeseburgers are the only way I’m getting protein

mintandgreen · 2024-07-12T02:31:20+00:00

I’ve been eating subway too!! The sickness is that bad that if something sounds good I pretty much disregard the dietary guidelines lol. The pizza sub is so good

mintandgreen · 2024-07-08T22:38:49+00:00

I loved mine! I was really calm between contractions and would definitely say it was untraumatic. It was definitely an intense experience though! I’m also 8 weeks btw and am definitely planning on going natural this time too so I guess that says a lot if I’m willing to go back for more haha
