Does Drinking Caffeine Increase Your Risk of Miscarriage?

- Many research studies have been done on the impact of caffeine on pregnancy.

- While some studies suggest a possible link between high levels of caffeine intake and an increased risk of miscarriage, others have not found a significant association.

- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) states that moderate caffeine consumption (up to 200mg per day) is unlikely to increase the risk of miscarriage, but recommends caution in women with high risk pregnancies or underlying health conditions.

- How much is safe

- ACOG recommends that pregnant and breastfeeding women limit their caffeine intake to 200mg per day.

- This is equivalent to about 1 12oz cup of coffee, 2 cups of tea, or 4 eight-ounce cola drinks.

- Alternatives to caffeine

- If you're concerned about your caffeine intake, there are several alternative beverages you can try:

- Decaffeinated coffee or tea

- Herbal teas

- Fruit juices

- Sparkling water

- Hot cocoa
