Tea is bad?!

Question

So lately I've been reading that drinking tea is bad while pregnant? I was never a coffee drinker to begin with and while I'm still avoiding caffeine during the first trimester (just to be on the safe side) I'm now seeing that even drinking none caffeine teas is bad? I've been obsessed with Starbucks iced passion tea which is a definite no no. Whyyyyy?!!😩 don't take that away from me 😔 any other suggestions for a morning treat are welcome. I'm getting sick of my lemon waters. TY and ❤ to all. J.

Answer

I'm a tea person too. Teas are fine, just make sure they're pregnancy safe. Like rooibos

Answer

I'm a big tea drinker so I did some research when I was pregnant with my son. Basically non-herbal teas are okay in moderation. If you drink green tea than drink it a few hours after you take your vitimans because it can inhibit some of the vitimans from being absorbed. Stay away from anything that has stinging nettle in it. Otherwise I'd say drink what you want, I'm pretty lenient this pregnancy so I'm drinking all the teas I used to drink anyway :)

Answer

I literally drank unsweetened iced passion tea every single day with my first...he's now 4-years-old.

Answer

I don't drink any coffee or tea, even though it says that there's a safe amount of caffeine intake. I like hot water with lemon) however most of my friends drank tea, so I think it's a personal decision. Woman who have doubts, I think should do some research about how caffeine affect the body, and then make decision.

Answer

Caffeine as a whole should be avoided. 200mg a day is the max you should be having, so basically one cup of tea or one cup of coffee.

Answer

I think you just have to be careful with herbal teas. Black teas are okay (from what I understand). I'd opt for decaf to be on the safe side. Im avoiding caffeine altogether and have been loving iced coconut water.

Answer

This has been confusing me too. Some places I read say avoid tea all together but then say tea is a good option to fight morning sickness. So now I do not know what to think.
