Pregnancy Tips and Maternal Health Care

Researchers at Kaiser Permanente Foundation, have indicated that women who consume 200 milligrams or more of caffeine during pregnancy (ie, the equivalent of two cups of coffee), double the risk of abortion. The authors of the study, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, reached this conclusion after studying more than one thousand pregnant women who indicated their pattern of consumption of caffeinated beverages: coffee, tea, some soft drinks and hot chocolate.

According to these researchers, caffeine, by itself, increases the chances of having an abortion. This is because the drug rapidly crosses the placenta into the fetus, whose metabolic system is not fully developed.

So the message for pregnant women is clear: “full stop caffeine intake during pregnancy!”
