Coffee 'raises miscarriage risk'
Quote:
Pregnant women should consider avoiding caffeine say researchers who found even moderate consumption in early pregnancy raises the risk of miscarriage.
Currently, the Food Standards Agency sets an upper limit during pregnancy of 300mg - or four cups of coffee a day.

But a US study in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology found 200mg of caffeine a day doubled the risk compared to women who abstained.

Experts said they would review the data to see if advice needed changing.

I thought women were already told to avoid caffeine as much as possible during pregnancy?
