Hello doctor,
Can I drink coffee during pregnancy and why? Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is safe to drink coffee when you are pregnant. Yes, but hold the refills. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends limiting your caffeine consumption to fewer than 200 milligrams (mg) per day. You can still enjoy a mug of coffee every now and then during your pregnancy. That is about two mugs of instant coffee or one mug of filter coffee. If caffeine intake is more than 200 mg per day, there are chances of low birth weight. Take care.
