Can pregnant women drink coffee?

"Doctor, I didn't know I was pregnant. I drank two cups of coffee a day. I wanted to take the baby off." "Doctor, since I've been pregnant for more than six months, my greatest wish is to drink coffee. Is it true that I can't drink even a sip?" "Doctor, I usually like pearl milk tea best. Can I drink it when I'm pregnant?" Many pregnant moms always worry about eating. The following is shared by obstetrician and gynecologist Yang Junguang!

Whenever I see pregnant women asking the above questions helplessly, frustrated and full of sadness, I can't help but say to you, "if a cup of coffee can get so much satisfaction and happiness, then drink one cup a day!"

So far, no one has proved that drinking "one cup" of coffee a day has any effect on pregnant women and fetuses. The most reliable human trials suggest that caffeine intake of more than 200 to 300 milligrams a day can increase the risk of miscarriage and fetal growth retardation. Take a small Starbucks latte, which contains about 75 milligrams of caffeine. Canned coffee sold in convenience stores now has a marked caffeine content, one can a day, all within a safe range.

"can you drink coffee when you are pregnant?" Similar problems often occur in my clinic, just replacing coffee with barley seed, spicy hot pot, milk tea, orange, pineapple, papaya, crab, ice cream, duck. There are too many to count, but it seems impossible to get a correct answer to such questions in science.

There is already a medical consensus that coffee should not be "drunk" during pregnancy, mainly because it contains caffeine. Caffeine in addition to coffee, black tea, green tea, cola, cocoa, chocolate and so on also have caffeine. Mice fed 10 cups of espresso a day can cause damage to fetal nerve development. Many animal experiments have also proved that high doses of coffee can cause developmental problems.

As far as I know privately, many people who are addicted to coffee treat coffee as poison when they are pregnant and dare not touch even a drop. Since they cannot drink more, it is safer not to drink it at all!. Such logic seems reasonable, but in fact, there is still a problem.
