The recommended caffeine limit during pregnancy is about 200 mg per day to keep both mother and baby safe. Common sources add up quickly—for example, a cup of coffee (80–100 mg), tea (40–60 mg), chocolate (10–30 mg), and soft drinks or energy drinks (30–80 mg) all contribute to your daily total. Consuming too much caffeine may increase the risk of miscarriage, low birth weight, or sleep disturbances, as caffeine crosses the placenta and affects the baby’s developing system. To manage intake, choose decaf options, limit portion sizes, switch to herbal teas (safe ones), and track daily consumption, ensuring you stay within the safe limit.
