How much caffeine can you have while pregnant?

For women all over the world, some of the biggest questions after learning that they’re pregnant are how they have to alter daily routines to have a safe, healthy pregnancy. For many, daily routines start with rolling out of bed and fixing a mug of coffee. This is one habit that often has to be altered for pregnancy: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that women do not exceed drinking 200 milligrams of caffeine per day while they’re pregnant, or two six-ounce cups of coffee each day. Here’s why it’s so important to keep maternal caffeine consumption under that threshold.
