That’s what doctors seem to be pretty-much divided over.

It’s long been supposed that having a couple of cups of coffee a day while pregnant is safe. However, a new study seems to be challenging that view by suggesting that, on the contrary, it could actually double the risk of a miscarriage.

One of the researchers (Dr Li) advised that any women thinking of conceiving or who do become pregnant should consider stopping drinking *coffee altogether, at least in the first trimester when most miscarriages tend to happen.

(*p.s.: not just coffee but other products that contain caffeine such as tea and some fizzy drinks.)
