Why can't pregnant mothers drink coffee?
Increased risk: Pregnant women who consume more than 300 milligrams of caffeine a day have a higher risk of miscarriage. It is reported that consuming a lot of caffeine during pregnancy may slightly increase the chances of premature delivery or low birth weight.

Cause insomnia: Caffeine is a stimulant, which will speed up your heartbeat and metabolism, may cause insomnia, tension and headache for pregnant mothers, and also stimulate gastric acid secretion, causing heartburn.

Cause dehydration: Caffeine is also a diuretic, which will make you go to the toilet more frequently and dehydrate more easily, which is not good for pregnant mothers.

Lead to calcium loss: Caffeine not only has no nutritional value, but also leads to calcium loss in bones. As the expected date of delivery approaches, the adverse effects of caffeine are likely to become more serious, the metabolism of caffeine in the human body will be slower, and the caffeine content in the blood of pregnant women and babies will be higher.

In a word, coffee does more harm than good to pregnant women. Coffee has little or no important nutrients, so pregnant women and pregnant women had better not drink coffee.
