Women who are pregnant or trying to conceive should avoid caffeine consumption altogether, according to a recent analysis of several observational studies on the effects of caffeine on pregnancy.

TORONTO -- Women who are pregnant or trying to conceive may want to avoid their morning cup of joe according to new research that suggests safe levels of caffeine consumption during pregnancy is a myth.Monday, found evidence to suggest that maternal caffeine consumption may be associated with negative pregnancy outcomes, warning that there is “no safe level of consumption” for pregnant mothers.

“It is important for the public to understand that caffeine is not the benign substance it is often portrayed to be. Unfortunately, the position to date of health authorities has been disappointing in this regard,” James told CTV News via email. A total of 42 findings were reported in 37 observational studies. Of those, 32 found that caffeine significantly increased the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and 10 found no or inconclusive associations.

James explains that when caffeine is consumed during pregnancy -- whether in coffee or other natural forms such as chocolate -- it crosses the placenta exposing the fetus to the substance.
