Drinks during pregnancy: can you drink coffee, alcohol, cola or milk

Remember that I am a gynecologist. Fluid intake during pregnancy.

coffee during pregnancy

Once, as a well-known coffee lover, I got confused by this issue and conducted a study of this issue.

My personal conclusions after reading a bunch of studies are as follows:

If a woman really has a physiological dependence on caffeine, then before pregnancy it is desirable (very desirable) to reduce coffee consumption to 2 cups per day of medium strength.

– For women with “low blood pressure”, a more effective strategy is to wear compression garments at all times, adequate drinking regimen, eating simple carbohydrates, minimizing the bath, starting a contrast shower in your life, having regular (keyword) physical activity and fresh air for breathing, massage of the legs and collar zone.

– Reduce caffeine intake as much as possible until 12 weeks of pregnancy, and after 30 weeks of pregnancy, drink coffee only in the morning, because caffeine metabolism slows down greatly and from the usual 5 hours becomes 18 hours of active circulation.

And once again I remind you that caffeine is found not only in coffee (see picture)

Nonalcoholic beer

It is not advisable to use. The drink may contain higher doses of ethanol than indicated on the label. With a false sense of “safety” it is easy to overdose.

Alcohol

To date, there is no evidence for a safe dose of ethanol. Therefore, alcohol is advised to be excluded from the diet and first aid kit of a pregnant woman. Even if the rags did not let you sleep all night and you are nervous, then the clearing will be after the end of breastfeeding, but for now you can just swear, weaving something about YR into the lace of sincere Ukrainian abuse.

Sugar-containing drinks (soda, energy drinks, fruit juice, juice concentrates)

Daily use by a pregnant woman can lead to an increase in BMI in a child under 6 years of age due to the fat content. Details on the plate. And I will add from myself. Be very careful with carrot juices and citrus juices, because not only the child can gain weight from them, but also the mother. And yet, a life hack beyond understanding: pomegranate juice, even with pulp, does not raise hemoglobin. Only causes prolonged constipation with the development of hemorrhoids.

Circles

On the one hand, it is a sugar-containing drink, so see above for its effect on obesity in children. But there are studies that prove that the use of a pregnant woman increases the risk of developing leukemia in children. Yes, these are observational studies. Yes, I do not know a clear correlation between the amount of diet coke you drink and the development of cancer, but just know that such a connection has been found and if you can not drink cola during pregnancy, do not drink it.

tap water

I once wrote about an interesting study of the relationship of hygiene traditions with the development of congenital malformations in the fetus found a correlation between taking a bath and shower for more than 15 minutes with the development of gastroschisis. The researchers also pointed out that taking a shower for 10 minutes in terms of the amount of by-products of water disinfection obtained is approximately the same amount of substances from drinking 1 liter of the same water.

What can I say now…

If you have water flowing from a tap, you are lucky. If you live in the Kherson region or Nikolaev, do not use tap water for washing and cooking. Only for the toilet. If you can put filters on the water at home – put it! If you have a well, at least once get confused by checking the content of substances in your water in order to understand the safety of its use. If you live in Ukraine, always have a supply of drinking water, because YR has other plans.

Milk

There were a lot of interesting things here. For now, the details are on the table. Overall, the researchers advise revisiting recommendations for dairy consumption during pregnancy. Milk is not just a nutrient, but is a mammalian endocrine signaling system that activates a key regulator of cell growth and anabolism, the nutrient-responsive kinase mTORC1. And its stimulation leads to a pronounced anabolic effect.
