This increases the risk for small gestational age babies.

Caffeine in large amounts may interfere with absorption and metabolism of calcium. This can contribute to bone thinning (osteoporosis).

Caffeine travels within the bloodstream and crosses into the placenta. Since it is a stimulant, it can cause your baby’s heart rate and metabolism to increase. Too much caffeine can also cause slowed fetal growth and increase risk of miscarriage. In most cases, a little caffeine is safe during pregnancy.

Caffeine can make your blood pressure go up for a short time. In most people, there is no long-term effect on blood pressure. If you have irregular heart rhythms, caffeine may make your heart work harder. - See more at: http://www.healthline.com/health/caffeine-effects-on-body#sthash.Gbj47SY4.dpuf

What caffeine can do is raise your blood pressure and heart rate even further due to its effect on the sympathetic nerve system, and this puts more of a load on the body and the baby. Caffeine can also reduce your body's ability to absorb iron, which is a mineral in high demand during pregnancy. Your iron stores are also under pressure while breastfeeding.
