Is it weird that I still want coffee even though it tastes like crap?

[anonacfr]

This is my 3rd pregnancy. With the first two I was sick as a dog for months- I was literally throwing up all day long.

As soon as morning sickness hit just the smell of coffee would make me retch (I normally have 2 espressos a day).

I am currently 6 weeks pregnant and have started throwing up every morning (joy) and feeling nauseous the rest of the day. However I still find myself craving coffe, even though it tastes ashy and horrible when I actually drink it (and has more or less from the time I conceived- that's how I first suspected I was pregnant. I did a test 4 days before my period was actually due and it was positive).

Isn't this weird?

I can relate, I wasn't as sick as you but pretty nauseaus etc the first few months and still craved coffee even though it didn't taste as good as usual, and I had kind of 'gone off' it as well even though I wanted it! I think it's that the caffeine addiction is still there even though we don't fancy it! My love of coffee has come back now I'm not sick anymore- just wish I didn't have to limit it to 2 small cups a day!
