Can pregnant women safely consume caffeine without the fear of affecting them or the fetus at the long run?
Pregnant women who drink coffee should pay attention to the amount every day. Coffee can cause adverse effects on pregnant women and the fetus if taken excessively.
Actually, not only the intake of coffee that needs to be limited by pregnant women but also other foods and drinks that contain caffeine. Examples of foods or beverages containing caffeine, namely chocolate, soft drinks and tea. Also, caffeine is usually added to cold medicines and energy drinks. Pay attention to whatever you consume and read information about the ingredients listed on the packaging.
Generally doctors advise to not change your coffee habits suddenly; if you have been a coffee drinker before pregnancy, drinking some coffee while pregnant is generally fine, but stopping suddenly if you still feel like drinking coffee would have no point. Likewise, if you haven’t been drinking that much coffee before, suddenly having daily coffee would not be good for the system.
