Pregnancy Alert: Caffeine Linked to Low Birth Weight
Caffeine Linked to Low Birth Weight
A recent study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) reported a link between caffeine consumption during pregnancy and fetal growth restriction.
According to the study, consumption of caffeine during pregnancy, even in small amounts, was linked to an increased risk of fetal growth restriction.
The authors of the study recommend decreasing caffeine consumption both before and during pregnancy in order to reduce the risk of complications.
Previous studies have linked caffeine and alcohol intake to reduced fertility.
