A member asked:

17 weeks pregnant. is 1 cup of coffee a week ok? prior miscarriage in june. 35 years old. healthy.

Decaf O.K.: Decaffeinated coffee is best as the caffeine in coffee can speed up the fetus' heart rate which is already 120 to 160 beats/minute normally. Faster fetal heart rates can actually cause cardiac arrests just like in adults.
