Diet Pills and Pregnancy in Women

Caffeine is commonly found in diet pills, which may be dangerous to a pregnant woman. Diet pills are dangerous not only because of the harmful ingredients they contain, but also because rapid weight loss during pregnancy is unsafe regardless of how it is achieved. Many experts believe that you should treat your period of conception and pregnancy the same way you would treat your pregnancy. Maintaining a healthy diet and limiting your intake of unhealthy items like alcohol might help you not only get pregnant, but also minimise any birth problems that may emerge in the weeks before you realise you're expecting.
