Question

While studies have shown that moderate caffeine intake (200mg or less per day) is generally safe during pregnancy, it is still recommended that pregnant women limit their caffeine consumption. Two pots of coffee a day likely exceeds this limit, so the best choice would be for the woman to reduce her coffee intake to 2 cups a day. Substituting with diet cola does not necessarily reduce caffeine intake, and eliminating tea and cola altogether is not necessary if they are consumed in moderation.
