If you are looking to bring a new little bean into the world, you may want to drop java and other caffeinated products from your diet. That’s right! A new study examines the risk that caffeine may present to pregnant women, drawing a link between caffeine and miscarriages.

Dr. De-Kun Li, a researcher at Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, California, led the study. The result might be hard to swallow for the caffeine dependent community, pregnant or not. Just two cups of coffee greatly raises the risk of miscarriage.

“If women become pregnant or are actively planning to become pregnant they should probably think about stopping drinking caffeine, at least during the first trimester when most miscarriages occur,” Li said.

Don’t take your aggravation out on me. I’m just the messenger! Let's use this as another excuse to be healthy. Exercise and find ways to live a healthy life for you and the bean to come. It’s not too late to make that New Year's resolution come true!
