Hot tea!!

Rayna
Hello ladies!! do you ladies think it's ok to drink green tea with lemon and honey? Before finding out I was pg I was big on that instead of coffee I would drink that even with my meals, and lately I haven't been able to really eat or drink anything everything makes me so sick, but just wondering if it's safe to drink green tea?

I bought organic pregnancy tea and it's Caffeine free and safe to drink 3 times a day. I got it at krogers in the organic section.

I'm sure there are some. I brought my teas to my doctor and she told me to avoid all of them because there isn't enough research regarding teas and a lot of them aren't regulated. She could just be overly cautious but I'm just going to listen to her. Check with your doctor or nurse, there should be a nurse line you can call and they can answer questions like this specific to your pregnancy.

Try some black tea with a hint of orange or an Arnold Palmer with black tea and lemonade. Starbucks has a new Mango Iced Black Tea Lemonade that is delicious!

My doctor told me no green or black tea because of the caffeine

I've been wondering about tea aswell! I miss sipping something nice and warm and especially once it starts to get cold 😁 I heard peppermint tea is safe but I will be asking my doctor just in case!

The only trouble I have seen with green tea during pregnancy is that it blocks the absorption of folic acid, which is very important during pregnancy to prevent birth defects. My doc recommended peppermint tea for nausea or chamomile tea, but you have to be careful with herbs while pregnant. Most docs say no herbal stuff because there hasn't been enough research on their effects.

Green tea isn't safe during pregnancy. My doctor said it can cause bleeding.

Oh wow ok then I'll keep staying away. Thank you for that information. Do you know if any other herbal teas are ok?
