High doses of caffeine intake during pregnancy may increase the risk of miscarriage [48] and some major negative pregnancy outcomes, such as stillbirth or low birth weight. [ 49 ] [ 50 ] A 2020 review called into question the safe levels proposed by the European Food Safety Authority, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ...
Values above 180 mmol/L are associated with a high mortality rate, particularly in adults. [11] However, such high levels of sodium rarely occur without severe coexisting medical conditions. [ 12 ] Serum sodium concentrations have ranged from 150 to 228 mmol/L in survivors of acute salt overdosage, while levels of 153–255 mmol/L have been ...
Women with a high pre-pregnancy weight are classified as overweight or obese, defined as having a BMI of 25 or above. [3] Women with BMI between 25 and 29.9 are in the overweight category and should gain between 7.0 and 11.5 kilograms in total, corresponding to approximately 0.28 kilogram each week during the second and third trimesters.

Low sodium intake level was a mean of <115 mmol (2645 mg), usual sodium intake was 115-215 mmol (2645–4945 mg), and a high sodium intake was >215 mmol (4945 mg), concluding: "Both low sodium intakes and high sodium intakes are associated with increased mortality, consistent with a U-shaped association between sodium intake and health outcomes".
Possible mechanisms by which high dietary potassium intake reduces the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease have been proposed but remain insufficiently studied. [37] However, studies have found a strong inverse association between long-term adequate to high rates of potassium intake and the development of cardiovascular diseases. [37]
What are the risks of pregnancy at 35 or older? As we age, we run the risk of developing chronic health conditions, like high blood pressure , obesity , or diabetes , says Yun.
Estimated sodium intake ≥6 g/day and <3 g/day are both associated with high risk of death or major cardiovascular disease, but the association between high sodium intake and adverse outcomes is only observed in people with hypertension. [103]
Chronic poorly-controlled high blood pressure before and during pregnancy puts a pregnant woman and her baby at risk for problems. It is associated with an increased risk for maternal complications such as preeclampsia, placental abruption (when the placenta separates from the wall of the uterus), and gestational diabetes.
