I used to have 2 cups daily and now everyone is telling me to stop. My gynac just said cut down but didnt really explain why yaar. Is it really that bad or thoda chalega?
Basically, it's the caffeine content. Caffeine is a stimulant and a diuretic. It can cross the placenta, and babies can't metabolize it as quickly as adults. High intake is linked to some risks like low birth weight. Most doctors recommend limiting it to 200mg a day, which is about one small cup.
My mother and MIL also told me to avoid coffee and tea completely when I was expecting. But my doctor said a very small cup occasionally is okay, just don't overdo it. It's because of the caffeine, dear, it can make baby a bit jittery also. Better to be safe.
Ah, the eternal coffee dilemma, haan? The main reason is caffeine. It can increase your blood pressure and heart rate, and can pass to the baby. Too much can sometimes be linked to lower birth weight or preterm birth. It's usually advised to limit to one small cup or cut it out to be safe.
Ugh, coffee cravings during morning sickness were the worst! My doctor said it's mainly because caffeine crosses the placenta and can affect the baby. Also, it can make acidity and dehydration worse for us moms. So, it's better to stick to very little, or switch to decaf if you really need it.
Ho na, it's tough to give up! But my doctor told me it's mainly about the caffeine content. Too much caffeine can affect baby's heart rate and development, and it also makes you more dehydrated. So they usually say to limit it strictly, or just avoid completely if possible. Black coffee is the worst.
