Mitigating Pregnancy Risks: Effects of Smoking and Caffeine on Premature Birth and Fetal Growth

2023-09-30 13:21:00

Scientists have warned that women who smoke during pregnancy are 2.6 times more likely to suffer premature birth than non-smokers.

The British National Health Service also recommends that pregnant women do not drink more than 200 mg of caffeine per day, which is equivalent to two cups of instant coffee or tea.

They should also stop smoking, because drinking large amounts of caffeine and smoking are linked to an increased risk of pregnancy complications, premature birth, and fetal growth restriction.
