Coffee Danger to Pregnant Women


Many people believe that pregnant women and women who are trying to conceive should avoid drinking coffee consumption, this assumption continues to exist until now. There is a study found that women who consumed 200 mg or more of caffeine a day had a higher risk of miscarriage than on them that are not consume caffeine.

In fact there is also a study that says that pregnant women who consume coffee can kill the baby after birth. For example, there is a study in Denmark who found the baby's risk of dying after a few hours of birth more than doubled in women who consume eight cups of coffee per day compared with other women. Other studies have shown that newborns with a history of mothers consumed more than 500 mg of caffeine a day had a heartbeat and breathing rate that is faster and spend more time awake in the first few days of birth.

Caffeine contained in coffee is a stimulant, so it can increase your heart rate. And also can make you feel jittery and cause insomnia. Caffeine can also contribute to heartburn (state feel the heat in the abdomen) to stimulate gastric acid secretion. This effect may be more pronounced when entering the first trimester of pregnancy because your body's ability to break down caffeine slows down, so you end up with a higher level in your bloodstream. During the second trimester, it takes almost twice as long to clear caffeine from your body like when you are not pregnant.

During the third trimester, it takes nearly three times as long. This can affect the amount of caffeine crosses the placenta and reaches your baby, which can not process efficiently. Drinks containing caffeine has compounds called phenols that make it harder for your body to absorb iron. Though iron is very important for pregnant women, because many pregnant women are already low on iron. If you would consume caffeinated beverages such as tea and coffee should be between meals so it will have less effect on iron absorption. The amount of caffeine in a single serving of coffee varies, depending on the type of the process of making coffee and then the measure that is used to brew coffee (espresso contains more caffeine per ounce, served in small cups, so that a full cup of brewed coffee will give you more caffeine).

For those of you who are pregnant to avoid the habit of consuming caffeine such as coffee and tea are difficult, can you subtract pretty consuming one cup per day. You can also do the mixing coffee with milk, and reduce the dose of coffee. At home, try using a little more ground coffee (or tea leaves) when brewing. Although herbal tea often do not have caffeine, be sure to read the list of ingredients in advance, certain herbs and additives may not be safe during pregnancy, so it requires consultation with a physician.
