Coffee Worry & Caffeine Guilt?
A new study conducted with 1,200+ pregnant women in Denmark and published in the British Medical Journal finds that moderate amounts of caffeine intake during pregnancy do not appear to contribute to premature delivery or low-birthweight.
Previous studies on this topic have been inconclusive - Leading to mixed messages from healthcare providers and pregnancy books, and leaving thousands of expectant moms feeling guilty and conflicted about even the most modest coffee intake during pregnancy.

As always, more research and larger studies on this question are needed! But as March of Dimes suggests, weighing all the current evidence leads to the conclusion that controlled, moderate caffeine intake during pregnancy is likely safe.
Comments
When I was pregnant I did caffiene in moderation. Some days I would have it, other days not. For me, giving it up completely wasn't an option because I just cannot function well in the morning without a cup of coffee!
