Caffeine stimulates your heart rate and raises your blood pressure. Both of these things aren't recommended during pregnancy.
Caffeine increases urine output, which could lead to dehydration.
Caffeine received by your baby can cause changes in the baby's sleep and movement patterns.
Don't forget that caffeine isn't just in coffee or sodas, it can be found in many foods. Check labels to look for caffeine content.
Caffeine can not be metabolized by babies like adults and there for this will harm your baby.
I found that this was interesting and just thought that i should share it with everyone, i am not sure if it is totally true so i am going to research more about it. If this is true and caffeine does harm your baby when pregnant then good luck to most of the babies due to the fact that almost everyone in the world loves coffee, hense why Dunkin Donuts makes millions of dollars a year.

My friend is pregnant so this would be a great article to show her. She should definately do some more research on this because the science seems to prove it. So many more people are drinking caffeine now, it would be interesting to more research on how it affects the baby.
