Some providers recommend less vigorous exercise during the first trimester because of the risk of miscarriage. Ingestion of alcohol, even small amounts, can lead to fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). Coffee is not involved in small-for-gestational-age infant, preterm labor, spontaneous abortions, or lower Apgar scores.
