Why is caffeine bad during pregnancy?

Question

Anindita Mangal · Answer

After my previous loss, I completely avoided all caffeine, even chocolates, because I didn't want any risk. Please limit your intake to keep the baby safe.

Mrinalini Walia · Answer

Caffeine can pass through the placenta to the baby, and their tiny liver can't process it easily. It is best to limit it to just one small cup of tea or coffee daily.

Khushi Joshi · Answer

Managing with just one tiny cup during pregnancy was so hard. But now with a newborn and zero sleep, coffee is my actual life saver!

I am planning my pregnancy now and honestly, cutting down on my daily three cups of chai seems so hard! Is green tea a safer option during pregnancy?

Subhadra Shinde · Answer

Haan, caffeine se baby ki heart rate aur acidity dono badh sakti hai na. I replaced my evening coffee with fresh badam milk, and it felt so much better.

No need to buy expensive decaf coffees or fancy herbal teas. Just cut down to one small cup of regular home chai and drink warm water or milk, it saves money and keeps things simple.
