Coffee Lovers, Unite! You Have Nothing to Lose In Terms of Your Kid's Birthweight

Well, this is indeed a heartening tidbit from the New York Times, and I only hope various members of my extended family check out the Health section once in a while. I've actually been quite pleased to be largely pregnant in winter so that my coat (for now) covers up the kid and I don't get flack for ordering full caffeine, and I don't have to get short with anyone.

Anyway, it seems that the threats of low birthweight for kids born to mothers who drink caffeinated items a bit more liberally (that is, more than one coffee per day) will not come to pass, according to a new Danish study.

So while one might not want to indulge in that 20 cup-a-day habit so fashionable in high school, it is still nice to know that you don't have to quit caffeine just because you're knocked up.
