Hello Viviensmith,

Welcome again to EmpowHER. Thank you for pointing out some effects of coffee.

Blame it on caffeine.

Did you know that caffeine raises the amount of acid in your stomach and may cause heartburn or upset stomach.

Caffeine in large amounts may interfere with absorption and metabolism of calcium. This can contribute to bone thinning.

Too much caffeine can also cause slowed fetal growth and increase risk of miscarriage. In most cases, a little caffeine is safe during pregnancy.

Everything in moderation,
Maryann
