Describe the risks associated with caffeine intake during pregnancy
?Caffeine crosses the placenta, and the developing fetus has a limited ability to metabolize it. Limited evidence suggests that heavy use of caffeine increases the risk of hypertension, miscarriage, and stillbirth. Depending on the quantities consumed and the mother's metabolism, caffeine may also interfere with fetal growth. Lower doses of caffeine-say, at levels equivalent to 3 cups of coffee or less-appear to be compatible with healthy pregnancies. All things considered, it may be most sensible to limit caffeine consumption to the equivalent of a cup or two of coffee a day.
