Is Tea And Coffee Safe During Pregnancy?
Coffee and tea are great mental stimulators, especially when we feel sleepy or dizzy. Pregnant women also love to have coffee or tea when they feel tired and sleepy. But, is the consumption of coffee or tea safe during pregnancy?
In this article, you will find an answer to this crucial question. Anything what the mother eats or drinks does enter the foetal blood through the placenta. Placental barrier is a weak barrier between the mother and the baby.
It helps to supply food and nutrients to the baby and at the same time prevents some toxic substances to enter the baby's blood. However, it is not very strong a barrier that can prevent all the toxic substances from entering the baby inside the womb.
Now, coming to the consumption of coffee and tea during pregnancy. Yes, it is harmful to take coffee and tea during pregnancy, but only when you take it in excess. Now, the question arises, what is this excess quantity of coffee?
How
Much
Coffee
To
Take
You
must
not
exceed
more
than
200
mg
of
caffeine
in
a
day.
This
means
you
have
to
avoid
two
mugs
of
an
instant
coffee
or
one
mug
of
a
brewed
coffee.
You
can
have
a
very
light
cup
of
coffee,
if
you
really
want
to
have.
Abstaining
from
coffee
during
pregnancy
is
a
safe
option.
How
Many
Millilitres
Of
Coffee
Avoid
fine
powdered
coffee,
filter
coffee,
expresso,
etc,
as
it
contains
more
caffeine.
Have
a
lighter
coffee
in
a
200-ml
sized
cup.
Using
a
bigger
cup
can
increase
the
risk,
as
the
more
you
drink,
the
more
caffeine
you
take
in.
Miscarriage
And
Low
Birth
Weight
In
Babies
Having
more
than
200
mg
of
coffee
regularly
increases
the
risk
of
a
miscarriage.
There
are
also
chances
of
having
a
baby
with
a
low
birth
weight.
This
means
that
weak
and
low
birth
weight
babies
have
more
risks
of
getting
health
issues
when
they
grow.
Caffeine
In
Coffee
Affects
The
Foetus
There
are
many
harmful
effects
of
coffee
on
the
growing
foetus,
as
caffeine
passes
easily
through
the
placental
membrane
and
enters
the
baby's
blood.
Therefore,
you
must
avoid
coffee
during
pregnancy.
You
Can
Have
A
Light
Tea
Having
tea
during
pregnancy
is
considered
a
safe
option
as
compared
to
having
coffee.
Have
a
light
tea
with
milk
and
avoid
the
black
one.
Also,
avoid
green
tea
during
pregnancy,
as
it
contains
caffeine
and
many
other
compounds
that
can
lead
to
a
miscarriage.
