The metabolism of caffeine is reduced in pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, and the half-life of caffeine during pregnancy can be increased up to 15 hours (as compared to 2.5 to 4.5 hours in non-pregnant adults). [79] Evidence regarding the effects of caffeine on pregnancy and for breastfeeding are inconclusive. [26]

If pregnant, it is recommended not to consume more than 200 mg of caffeine a day (though this is relative to the pregnant person's weight). [26] If a pregnant person consumes high levels of caffeine, it can result in low birth weight due to loss of blood flow to the placenta, [27] and could lead to health problems later in the child's life.

Caffeine doses in these beverages range from 20 to 30 mg in some soft drinks, up to 350 mg or more in some energy drinks.
