Research Output
Higher coffee intake in pregnancy linked to prolonged gestation, and higher caffeine intake linked with babies being small for gestational age
  Implications for practice and research

The findings support that maternal coffee consumption is associated with marginally increased gestational length, decreased birth weight, but not preterm delivery.


Future research is required to confirm cause and effects.
