Can pregnant women drink the same amount of coffee when they are pregnant as before?
Most women reduce their coffee consumption in the early stages of their pregnancy because they develop a dislike for the taste of several dietary items that they previously enjoyed , following hormonal changes. Pregnant women do break down caffeine more slowly, and heavy caffeine consumers would be advised to moderate their intake to around 300mg per day – following the advice given by the SCF. Intakes of 300mg/day do not constitute any risk.
