Caffeine And Pregnancy
Beverley Brooke
Most physicians will generally recommend that you avoid caffeine
as much as possible during your pregnancy. One reason is that
caffeine is a known diuretic, which cause you to pass fluids from
your body, and can leave you dehydrated. Drinking too much
caffeine can also leach calcium from your body, and it is
important that you are getting adequate amounts of calcium during
pregnancy. Large amounts of caffeine have also been associated
with an increased risk for miscarriage, premature birth and low
birth weight. If you do want some caffeine during your pregnancy,
most practitioners will recommend you limit your intake to less
than 300 mg per day.
