    i found those lipton chai latte things that come in little packets worked for me, coz even tho they're not coffee they're still hot, sweet and milky so it was still satisfying.

    carry a water bottle with you EVERYWHERE! you'll find that you'll drink from it just coz it's in your hand. thats how i quit smoking a couple of years ago and started drinking at least 3L of water a day, and i'm so so so much healthier for it today. Becuase your full of water, you wont want your coffee so much.

    I found a good way to cut down when you're making instant is half regular half decaf...get used to the lesser amount and then gradually increase the amount of decaf vs "leaded"...over a period of several weeks you can get down to quite a small amount.

    I have gone off hot coffee but I drnk a glass of Ice break (iced coffee) evey morning - its the only think that makes me feel ok to start the day (after my morning spew session!) my OB said one or 2 coffees a day is fine - If I have a hot coffee I will only have decaffe - it takes a while to change but now I cant drink "leaded" coffee any more - I also drink decaffe tea as well... you get used to it pretty fast.
    Maccona decaffe is awesome!

    I went back to good old Milo when I was pg. Nothing can really compare to a good coffee though

    I love coffee and tea but thankfully when I'm UTD I can't stand drinking anything hot. It is weird, it makes me want to vomit even thinking about it when I'm pregnant.

    Perhaps try cutting back one a day over the space of a few weeks.
