OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 21 -- Caffeine's dangers in pregnancy are real, and it may be prudent to halt or reduce the intake of caffeinated beverages to lessen the risk of a miscarriage, according to a large prospective cohort study here.
Pregnant women who drank the equivalent of at least two cups of coffee daily, or five cans of a soft drink with caffeine, were twice as likely to miscarry as women who consumed no caffeine, found results of the study reported online in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.

I remember being told not to consume caffeine during my pregnancy 11 years ago. I just assumed everyone did.

Maybe it is to some. So many OB/GYNs don't agree about a great many things unless there is a definative study. I guess its a good thing that now they know for sure.

It sounds like a diversionary tactic and sorta fishy to me. Look many millions of women have been drinking tea and having millions of healthy babies for at least a thousand years. It doesn't seem to have hurt China and India.
I think we would do better to look at food quality, additives, environmental pollution. I'm sure eliminating a lot of those would be better than eliminating tea.

I find myself agreeing with you Alameda. In addition, there are many reasons why a child is not always carried to full term and, frankly, sometimes it is for the best.
