Expert answer:
Pregnant Can you drink coffee?, as long as it is with moderation, not exceeding 1 to 2 glasses per day.
The metabolism of caffeine is reduced in the pregnant woman, which causes caffeine to circulate longer in the woman's bloodstream and fetus.
Caffeine is a stimulant found in coffee, chocolate, teas, soda, and energy and when crossing the placenta there is a possibility of increasing the risk of miscarriage, premature birth and impaired fetal development.
Since scientific studies in pregnant women are limited, it is prudent for pregnant women to limit caffeine intake during pregnancy to reduce the potential risks of adverse effects.
When in doubt, consult your gynecologist or family doctor.
