paracetamol with caffiene...

[confuzed90]

I know we're meant to avoid caffiene, but why? I'm 37+1 and just took 2 paracetamols containing caffiene. I drink coke, so I have been avoiding alll other caffiene substances and didn't realise until afterwards. Basically all I'm saying is what are the affects on baby?

you shouldn't have too much caffeine, but a little is fine.
those paracetamols + caffeine will be fine, but probably best to take the pure tablets, just in case.

Think it affects birth weight. I think in the first trimester it can increase chance of mc, later on it can result in low birth weight, however, with everything, I think it really takes quite a bit to have that affect.
