One
of
the
first
things
most
of
us
women
prepare
to
say
goodbye
to
once
we
see
those
two
pink
lines
on
our
pregnancy
tests
is
caffeine.
Many
women
will
stop
their
caffeine
habit
cold
turkey
out
of
the
sheer
fear
of
doing
some
sort
of
damage
to
the
new
life
growing
inside
of
them.
These
women
will
swear
off
anything
that
has
caffeine
in
it
from
coffee,
and
soda
to
even
chocolate.
Then
there
are
some
of
us
who
will
still
drink
caffeine
but
cut
back.
Instead
of
drinking
five
cups
of
coffee
a
day,
we
might
cut
back
to
at
least
one
cup
of
coffee
to
get
us
through
the
day.
Our
mothers
and
grandmothers
will
probably
tell
us
that
they
drank
the
same
amount
of
caffeine
pregnant
as
they
did
when
they
were
not
pregnant
and
their
children
turned
out
fine.
However
a
lot
more
research
has
been
done
since
their
time
and
studies
are
showing
that
too
much
caffeine
can
cause
some
complications
such
as
preterm
labor
and/or
low
birth
weight.
So
how
much
caffeine
is
too
much
caffeine?
Doctors
are
telling
their
patients
that
a
moderate
amount
of
caffeine
will
not
harm
their
babies.
Even
though
caffeine
does
cross
the
placenta,
anything
less
than
300
milligrams
a
day
(an
8
ounce
cup
of
strong
coffee)
will
not
do
any
harm.
Anything
over
300
milligrams
puts
your
baby
at
risk
and
studies
have
also
shown
that
women
who
drink
more
than
300
milligrams
of
caffeine
a
day
during
their
first
trimester
have
a
slightly
higher
risk
of
a
miscarriage.
Studies
have
also
shown
that
women
who
had
over
500
milligrams
of
caffeine
a
day
had
babies
who
had
faster
heart
rates
and
faster
breathing
rates.
These
babies
also
spent
more
time
awake
in
their
first
few
days
of
life
rather
than
peacefully
sleeping
after
their
long
journey.
There
are
a
number
of
other
reasons
why
we
women
might
want
to
cut
back
on
the
amount
of
caffeine
we
drink
during
pregnancy.
For
starters,
it
has
no
nutritional
value.
If
there
is
ever
a
time
for
us
to
be
aware
of
our
nutritional
needs
it
is
when
we
are
pregnant.
Second,
caffeine
is
a
stimulant
which
will
increase
your
heart
rate
and
can
cause
insomnia
and
headaches
which
can
put
some
stress
on
your
growing
little
one.
Third,
caffeine
can
cause
heartburn.
If
you
have
been
pregnant
before
you
know
that
heartburn
can
be
a
burden
to
begin
with,
and
caffeine
just
makes
it
worse.
Lastly
it
is
a
diuretic
which
means
it
can
cause
you
to
lose
fluids
which
can
put
you
at
a
risk
of
becoming
dehydrated.
While
it
is
not
necessary
for
you
to
give
up
all
caffeine
through
out
the
duration
of
your
pregnancy,
you
should
learn
how
to
drink
it
in
moderation
or
don't
drink
it
at
all.
If
you
can
not
handle
having
only
one
cup
of
coffee
a
day,
then
you
might
be
better
off
drinking
no
coffee
at
all.
Stick
with
caffeine
free
sodas
and
even
decaf
coffee.
Remember
though
that
decaf
coffee
still
contains
small
traces
of
caffeine
so
make
sure
you
take
that
into
consideration.
