Many women dread having to give up coffee during their pregnancy, but new research suggests consuming a little caffeine while expecting might not necessarily be a bad thing.
The researchers did not find any statistically significant differences between those who did or did not drink caffeine during pregnancy in terms of blood pressure, preeclampsia or hypertension.While the findings are consistent with other studies that have found that caffeine is associated with improved energy balance and decreased fat mass, it may also be theor other ingredients in coffee and tea that are impacting inflammation and insulin resistance.
Past studies have shown that caffeine consumption during pregnancy, even in amounts less than the recommended 200 mg per day, was associated with smaller babies, Hinkle said."It would not be advised for women who are non-drinkers to initiate caffeinated beverage consumption for the purpose of lowering gestational diabetes risk," Hinkle said.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant women limit their caffeine consumption to less than 200 mg daily. The recommendations are based on studies that suggest potential associations with pregnancy loss and fetal growth at higher caffeine consumption levels, the study authors noted in a university news release.
