During pregnancy, expecting mothers should avoid certain beverages for the well-being of themselves and their baby. The top five beverages to steer clear of are:
Alcohol: Completely avoid alcohol due to the risks of miscarriage, premature birth, and developmental issues.
Caffeinated drinks: Limit caffeine intake to prevent low birth weight, preterm labor, and miscarriage.
Unpasteurized juices: Choose pasteurized juices to avoid harmful bacteria and foodborne illnesses.
Herbal teas: Consult a healthcare provider before consuming herbal teas, as some may cause complications.
High-sugar beverages: Limit or avoid sugary drinks to prevent excessive weight gain and gestational diabetes.
Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice during pregnancy.
