Abstract:
Recent reports on the relationship between caffeine consumption by pregnant women and their infants' risk of miscarriage, low birth weight, preterm delivery and congenital malformations were reviewed. The evidence continues to support the view that moderate consumption of caffeine by pregnant women does not adversely affect their fetuses.
