During Pregnancy

It is better to avoid coffee during pregnancy, although some gynaecologists say one cup of coffee a day is acceptable.


Caffeine in coffee can cause an increase in the blood pressure and heart rate which are undesirable during pregnancy.


Furthermore, caffeine can cause miscarriage in the early pregnancy stage and lower weight gain in babies during late stage of pregnancy.


Lastly, caffeine makes it hard for the body to absorb iron, this can cause pregnant women to suffer anemia.


If withdrawal of coffee causes headache in you, you can consider taking one cup or two daily.
