Herbal tea or Any Tea?

Question

So I assumed caffeine free tea was ok for pregnant gals! The more I read the more I learn herbal tea is not recommended. What do you mamas know about this? 
Any hot drinks vs cold drinks recommended for pregnancy?
Thanks!

Answer

Herbal tea depends on WHAT herbs.  I drink a lot of tea when not Pregnant or nursing (hubby is Asian, so it’s a thing, hehehe), and I was told no herbal soups either in an attempt to avoid herbs that can actually be dangerous.
 
Unless your doctor said otherwise, you CAN have some caffeine daily, especially if this was a daily habit before.  A flower tea is USUALLY okay (use caution with chrysanthemum tea as it is a diuretic) but even a green tea should be okay (1-2 glasses a day).
 
If you prefer your tea SWEETENED, the other concern is sugar intake. 🤷‍♀️. I still drink tea here and there while pregnant, just not a gallon a day 😜

Answer

Just be careful what herbs. do your research and ask your doctor

Answer

Normal decaf tea is fine, mint tea is fine, camomile tea is ok.
