Do Not: Consume Too Much Caffeine
Caffeine, which is found in coffee, tea, chocolate, and much more, is a stimulant. It’s also a diuretic. This means that it raises blood pressure and heart rate, while increasing trips to the bathroom.
Your baby is also affected when you consume caffeine, as it crosses the placenta. Large quantities of caffeine can cause dependency during pregnancy and lead to irregular heart rhythms.
