Is it true that I should also avoid small amounts of alcohol?
Small amounts of alcohol are also strongly discouraged during pregnancy. This can have a negative impact on the physical and mental development of the unborn child.
Please also refrain from cooking alcohol, as a certain residual alcohol content remains. This cooking method should be avoided as:
- The flavour is influenced.
- It is inappropriate to use alcohol in cooking, especially if it is for children.
Can I still drink coffee during pregnancy?
You can drink coffee during pregnancy, but it is recommended that you limit your consumption of drinks with caffeine. You should drink a maximum of 2-3 cups of coffee or a maximum of 4 cups of green or black tea per day.
Note: Drinks such as iced tea, cola, iced coffee and soft drinks with guarana also contain caffeine!
The following drinks are best suited to quench your thirst:
- Still mineral water
- Tap water
- Unsweetened fruit teas
- Highly diluted 100% fruit and vegetable juices.
