LADYTIMER DAILY QUIZ

Women who consume excessive amounts of caffeine while in the early months of their pregnancy have a greater chance of miscarrying.
Studies have found that women who consumed around 200 milligrams of caffeine daily, which is the equivalent of two cups of regular coffee a day, were twice as likely to suffer from a miscarriage. Experts recommend that during the first trimester of pregnancy caffeine should be banned from a woman’s diet, and during the later months the intake should be limited to around a single cup of regular coffee per day.
Bleeding during the first trimester always means a miscarriage.
Light spotting during the early months of pregnancy is actually quite normal and does not necessarily indicate a miscarriage. Heavy bleeding, passing of blood clots or consistent bleeding is much more worrisome and is normally the first signs of a miscarriage. Most women will see a doctor or midwife when they experience any type of bleeding simply to make sure everything is okay.
Smoking can increase the risk of miscarriage
This will be called a tentative truth. Smoking during pregnancy has already been linked to low birth weights, stillborns, and premature delivery. However, the link between smoking and miscarriage is still relatively tentative. Though some studies have found a potential causation link between smoking and miscarriage, by proposing that women who smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day do increase their risks of miscarriage.
