why no caffeine?

Question

So can anyone tell me the reason why caffeine is limited during pregnancy? I could probably check google but I'd like to hear reasons why your OB told you to cut back...I'm sitting here looking at my 4yo thinking I drank a lot of caffeine with her and she is the most hyperactive kid I've ever met in my life 🙄 and with me being so fatigued I barely have the energy 😩

Answer

I have 8oz of light coffee everyday

Answer

They don't really know if too much caffeine can cause a miscarriage so they would rather it be limited.

Answer

Just cause YOU had all the coffee in the world and ur child is "just fine", it doesn't make it safe. It's just as bad as saying "I smoked during pregnancy and my child turned out fine "
Caffeine in mass amounts is BAD,  just like everything else. Too much of anything is bad...
Caffeine side effects are LOW BIRTH WEIGHT, AND PREMATURE BIRTH. These are facts. Not opinions.

Answer

Always assumed it was bc caffeine can raise your heart beat which can't be good and bc it can be passed to baby making baby need caffeine at birth which can make a fussy baby and there's no proof it won't cause miscarriage like other person said. But I never googled it just limit what I drink and move on. If u think about it when you drink caffeine it makes most babies go crazy in womb so it affects them.

Answer

Wow if caffeine side effects cause low birth weight my son shouldve been really small. 😂 he was almost 9 pounds girl your fine eat what you want just dont go over board nothing more then you would normally eat if you werent pregnant.

Answer

Basically all the studies are inconclusive so it's a "better safe than sorry" thing. They do know caffeine can cross the placenta, and that baby is unable to metabolize caffeine the way we do. They believe it's linked to increased risk of miscarriage, birth defects, and low birth weight. We DO know caffeine is a stimulant which raises your blood pressure (not good during pregnancy) and keeps both mom and baby awake.

Answer

Well one of the things is it. An cause mild contractions due to dehydrated your body. This happened to me so I cut way back.

Answer

Someone I know drank monster energy drinks her whole pregnancy despite her doctor telling her she needs to stop, so when her baby was born it took them hours to get his blood sugar levels stabilized.
