Same reason you don't want to give caffine to young children... it makes them hyper. However, according to an article I read a few years ago you would have to consume an unrealistic ammount of caffeine for any birth defects or anything. I did limit my intake while pregnant, but I didn't let it rule my life!

Some women choose to avoid caffeine during pregnancy.
Safety of caffeine consumption during pregnancy is controversial. Some studies suggest that modest caffeine intake of less than two average cups of coffee per day presents a slight risk to the embryo or fetus, but others do not. There is stronger evidence that larger daily amounts of caffeine during pregnancy may increase the risks of miscarriage, preterm delivery and low birth weight, but no solid proof.
High caffeine intake during pregnancy should be avoided. Individual sensitivity to caffeine may vary for both pregnant women and developing fetuses, and risks of moderate caffeine consumption are not clear. Women trying to become pregnant may conceive sooner if they limit caffeine intake to moderate amounts. To minimize infants’ exposures to caffeine, breastfeeding women can avoid very high caffeine intake.

it will effect the baby ALOT. You may not realize it but Caffine is a stimulant and drinking a coke will make the baby feel like its on crack. Also it messes up Milk production. If she is that dumb she probably shouldnt be having babies.

Caffeine in amounts of 3 or more cups of coffee per day is associated with an increased risk of miscarriage. Most women will avoid or severely limit caffeine while pregnant.

You can have a little caffeine and it won't hurt anything. You shouldn't take it because it passes over the placenta and can be harmful to the baby. But, you can have some, just not a whole lot.

Call an OB doctor and they will tell you why. Caffiene is bad for the baby...do you want a baby that is awake 24/7.

caffeine is an addictive "drug" so anything like that cannot be given to her while pregnant otherwise it will affect the baby.
