Green Tea ok?

Question

I'm 5w5d today, and I'm just exhausted at work, can barely keep my eyes open. I don't drink coffee but I do like green tea? Will this be ok?

Answer

Just don't drink it near when you take your prenatal. It can hinder folic acid absorption.

Answer

My Dr told me to stay away from it

Answer

My OB said to not drink it because a lot of green tea has ginseng which is a natural stimulant and it's not good for pregnancy.

Answer

It can interfere with folic acid absorption. Drink black tea

Answer

Yes it's fine, just like everything else you should only have it in moderation. Also try to opt for decafinated kinds when possible.

Answer

Yes but in moderation. Something in the green tea can possibly cause a nureal tube defect if consumed too much.
