I know that women that are pregnant want to protect the baby, and allow themselves to have a pregnancy free of complications, so this article is raises my concerns of consuming energy drinks during pregnancy. Most energy drinks are powered by caffeine, and caffeine can kill.

Caffeine can cause women to have miscarriages, if you are pregnant beware that caffeine is not your friend, according to a new study that appeared in the March issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology. Women that take in and consume too much caffeine greatly increase there risk of miscarriage. It also goes on to say, that no prior history of miscarriage need be present for caffeine to harm your baby.

Researchers found women who consumed caffeine of more than 200 milligrams (mg) per day while pregnant raised there risk of a miscarriage compared with women who had little to no caffeine intake .

No caffeine is good for you, not energy drinks, not coffee,  not chocolate, tea, or even soda . If you are pregnant and consume more than 200 mg per day, your birth is at  risk. How much caffeine is 200 mg ?  Roughly 10 ounces of coffee equals 200 mg. And 1 red bull is too many.
