Tell that to all the ladies in the 40s and 50s who guzzled coffee, tea and cola on a daily basis and still punched out kids on a regular basis.

I am old enough to remember when four kids was an average family and there was nothing unusual about a family of six or more.

hmmmm....the one thing I don’t do during pregnancy (that I allegedly ought to) is cut out caffine. As a result I have two bright beautiful little girls who crawled at four months and walked at nine months. And climbed anything that was still for more then five seconds.....

If this pattern continues with their seven week old brother...I’ll blame caffine.

I belive Abortion is a bigger predicator of misscarriages..

I had no desire for coffee when I was pregnant. Lime jello with pineapple and pears, yes!

Dr. Carolyn Westhoff, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology, and epidemiology, at Columbia University Medical Center, had reservations about the study, noting that miscarriage is difficult to study or explain. Dr. Westhoff said most miscarriages resulted from chromosomal abnormalities, and there was no evidence that caffeine could cause those problems.

“Just interviewing women, over half of whom had already had their miscarriage, does not strike me as the best way to get at the real scientific question here,” she said. “But it is an excellent way to scare women.”

Seems right to me, especially considering there was another study that came out at the same time that stated there wasn't a link between caffeine and miscarriage. But guess which one is getting the media attention.
