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.
