Can Pregnant Women Drink Mocha?
Caffeine is okay for pregnant women to consume, as long as it is used in moderation. However, you should make an effort to cut back.
Women should limit their caffeine intake to no more than 200 mg per day, or about one cup of coffee. Even small amounts of caffeine during pregnancy can be harmful to your unborn child.
In addition to teas (such as green tea), caffeine-laden sodas, and chocolate, the 200mg limit applies to all of these products.
If you're going to a coffee shop, be prepared for stronger coffee than you're used to.
Depending on the store, the amount of caffeine in espresso and espresso-based coffees such cappuccinos, flat whites, and lattes can vary widely.
According to one study, the caffeine content of an espresso can range anywhere from 50 milligrams to 300 milligrams, depending on the chain.
Decaffeinated coffee from a coffee shop may contain as much as 15mg of caffeine.
Caffeine-free teas like chamomile, ginger, or rooibos might satisfy a warm-cup-of-something-you-want craving. Your morning routine will not be disrupted.
The flavor of decaffeinated coffee is nearly identical to that of regular coffee, making it a safe choice. You may be deceived by the effects of caffeine!
Caffeinated beverages are safe for your infant to consume. Premature birth and low birth weight are more likely if a pregnant woman consumes more caffeine than is recommended. Increased, but still modest, risk of a first trimester miscarriage or stillborn baby.
Cold and flu remedies, pain relievers, allergy medications, and sleep aids all contain caffeine. Before taking any medication, including over-the-counter (OTC) medications, a pregnant woman should always read the label and check with her doctor.
