However, consumption should be monitored and limited. You should not exceed 300 mg of caffeine per day. It\u2019s important to remember that caffeine is also found in other foods like tea, chocolate, and energy drinks.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u00ab It is dangerous to exercise during pregnancy.\u00bb<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>FALSE!<br \/>\nIn reality, exercise during pregnancy is very beneficial for both the mother and the baby! It can help improve overall health, promote mental well-being, and prepare you for childbirth. Of course, it is essential to consult your doctor before continuing or starting any new exercise routine to assess for any obstetric contraindications to physical activity during pregnancy. Contact sports and activities with a risk of falls (e.g., downhill skiing) should also be avoided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00ab I will give birth on my due date.\u00bb FALSE!
