• Most pregnant women are aware of diet dos and
  donts during pregnancy. However, when it comes
  to beverages or drinks, they do not have much
  knowledge. Some of them which are considered
  actually healthy otherwise may actually have an
  adverse effect during pregnancy.
• Think before you drink
• Some of the drinks mentioned below are termed as
  health drinks, some boast medicinal and other
  equivalent qualities, but they are not all that
  great for an expectant mum. Beware of these
  healthy but pregnancy-unfriendly drinks

GREEN TEA

• Herbal teas are usually considered safe and are
  known to be loaded with antioxidants. Green tea
  is herbal and good for health, but refrain from
  having it during pregnancy. There isnt enough
  documentation available to show that green tea is
  good for pregnant women. During pregnancy your
  metabolism levels are high as such, green tea
  increases it further and this is not advisable,
  says Deepshikha Agarwal, a Mumbai based dietitian
  and sports nutritionist.
• Green tea also have some caffeine in it so
  unlimited sips is going to do you as much damage
  as regular tea. Also excessive consumption of
  green tea can lead to less absorption of folic
  acid during pregnancy making you and your baby
  susceptible to folic acid deficiency diseases.

4
Alcohol

• Occasional indulgences are fine, but if you cross
  the line know about its perils too. Too much
  alcohol intake during pregnancy can lead to poor
  growth and improper brain development in the
  foetus. It can also lead to abnormal facial
  features in the baby and mental retardation,.
  Even if you restrict yourself to one drink a day
  your baby might still be at the risk for having
  problems with learning, speech, attention span,
  language, and hyperactivity after birth.

5
Soft drinks

• They are great thirst quenchers, we all agree.
  But now its better you go natural and cut out on
  fizzy drinks. Soft drinks have caffeine in their
  content and some can also have chemicals called
  quinine in them,. So caffeine and chemicals both
  in one drink can cause double damage if taken in
  large quantities.

Iced tea

• Go slow on this. Though each sip might make you
  feel refreshed and rejuvenated this drink also
  has high amounts of caffeine in it. 

7
Coffee

• If you cannot do without your daily caffeine fix,
  limit your intake to just two cups a day. Ideally
  taking coffee away from your diet completely is
  the best thing. Excessive caffeine intake during
  pregnancy especially during the first trimester
  can lead to miscarriages or other health related
  issues in the fetus. It is better to exercise
  moderation here and limit intake

8
Diet Soda

• This is not only loaded with caffeine, but lots
  of artificial sweeteners too. Saccharine, an
  ingredient used in the artificial sweeteners can
  cause birth defects in the baby if had in excess
  quantity. This ingredient can cross over the
  placenta and reach the fetus and harm the baby.

9
Wheatgrass juice

• This surely is a health drink you thought would
  never make it to this list. But did you know that
  the American Cancer Society advises that pregnant
  women should not consume wheatgrass since the
  risk of bacterial and mold contamination is high?
  Wheatgrass often grows in humid and moist
  conditions and hence has higher amounts of mold
  and bacteria. 
• High doses of wheatgrass can have purgative
  effects (leading to diarrhea and vomiting) and
  this will cause an imbalance of vital nutrients
  during pregnancy. Some studies also suggest that
  wheatgrass intake during pregnancy can result in
  a miscarriage or cause impairment of a body part
  in the baby,

10
Unpasteurized Juices or Milk

• Make sure you read labels before picking up
  them. Avoid any juice or dairy product that says
  unpasteurized on the label. Because these
  products can contain bacteria in them which can
  lead to food-borne disease in the mother. If it
  crosses over the placenta and reaches the fetus
  it can hamper neurological development,
