Moderate coffee consumption during pregnancy is generally considered safe, with most experts, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), recommending a limit of 200 mg of caffeine per day—about one 12-ounce cup of coffee. While excessive caffeine intake has been linked to an increased risk of miscarriage and low birth weight, moderate amounts are unlikely to harm the baby. Coffee also contains beneficial antioxidants, and for many pregnant women, a small amount can help with fatigue and mood. If you’re pregnant and enjoy coffee, sticking to a moderate intake can allow you to savor your daily ritual while prioritizing a healthy pregnancy.
