Reduce the quantity. That's all. I think most of us south Indians cannot do without coffee.

If you regularly have more than 200mg of caffeine during your pregnancy, it could increase the risk of miscarriage or your baby having a low birth weight.

Only coffee causes harmful effects during pregnancy or pregnant women should not have tea too.. By intaking tea during pregnancy will effect baby's health?

Some say it is safe to drink green tea during pregnancy, in moderation. About three or four cups of green tea a day would probably be a sensible limit.

Avoiding caffeine as much as possible is your safest course of action.It is best to discuss this with your health care provider to make the healthiest choice for you and your baby.

I m 11^th week of pregnancy, I am healthy. Do I still need to take iron and calcium tablets? It will create any side effects.

Most of the Indians are anemic and the diet is not sufficient in iron and calcium.hence we advise routinely iron and calcium supplementation.they can cause some discomfort in the stomach for few people.most of the time it is well tolerated
