Anna Kaiser health-news Everyone has a different opinion when it comes to caffeine during pregnancy. I work full time, and with the extreme exhaustion pregnancy brings, I need a little boost a couple of times a day. On days when I can't stomach coffee, green tea has also proven to be very helpful and soothing. Anna Kaiser daycoffeeworktime As I get older, I think about the quality of my life and a balanced way to enjoy that. That's true wellness - being well from inside out.
