Pregnant women should drink no more than four cups of coffee a day, a government agency has advised.


The 300 mg daily limit roughly equals:


4 average cups or 3 average size mugs of instant coffee
3 average cups of brewed coffee
6 average cups of tea
8 cans of regular cola drinks
4 cans of "energy" drinks
400 grams (8 standard 50 g bars) of normal chocolate
The FSA set out caffeine intakes for individual items, so pregnant women can "mix-and-match", within their quota.

They are:


Average cup of instant coffee - 75 mg
Average mug of coffee - 100 mg
Average cup of brewed coffee - 100 mg
Average cup of tea - 50 mg
Regular cola drink - up to 40 mg
Regular energy drink - up to 80 mg
Normal bar of chocolate - up to 50 mg

I drink only the occasional cup with a dessert or at a diner. If you find that you need to drink coffee to function, don't drink it at all. Try a nice glass of ice water. I find that it works quicker and for longer.
