It is quite for the health of you and your baby to watch what you eat during pregnancy.
Caffeine is well known as a stimulant and when it is consumed during pregnancy, it is given across the placenta to your baby. A baby’s metabolism cannot process the stimulant like an adult’s metabolism.
The best thing you can do for your baby during pregnancy is to consume as little caffeine as possible, says the American Pregnancy Association. It also provides some additional information in this connection:
- Caffeine can stimulate your heart rate and increases your blood pressure that both are considered harmful during pregnancy.
- Urine output increases because of caffeine and it can lead to dehydration.
- It can cause changes in your baby’s movement patterns and sleep.
- It’s a general view that caffeine is just found in coffee or sodas, but the truth is that it is found in many foods and you need to check labels to look for caffeine content.
The risk of developing a debilitating and potentially lethal lung disorder called pulmonary hypertension is four times higher in women than in men, a new study says.
Pulmonary hypertension occurs due to high blood pressure in those arteries that supply blood to the lungs. In this condition the arteries that feed the lungs constrict and decrease the supply of oxygenated blood to circulate throughout the body. Usually, people feel tired and short of breath and tired because of that condition.
Dr. Adaani E. Frost, from the Baylor College of Medicine, in Houston, led that study and he and his team looked at data from the REVEAL registry that included more than 2,300 patients, then they compared it with the data they received from the U.S. National Institute of Health, a French registry and another large U.S. registry from one medical centre.
