hot tea while pregnant?

Question

So I recently heard you're not supposed to drink hot tea or lemon tea while pregnant.. but I've been pretty deathly sick and have been drinking hot Lipton tea with honey cause that's all that's helping with my coughing. I'm not sure if this is a myth but wanted to ask all of you girls your opinion on this. Did you drink hot teas? Was everything okay??

Answer

Don't google this! I googled and threw away all of my tea that had any "bad" ingredients. My doctor told me if you can buy it in the grocery store, it's fine. None of those teas contain enough of a harmful ingredient (hibiscus, for example) to do anything to baby.

Answer

Black, green, and oolong are perfectly fine. Just watch the caffeine. Most herbal teas are fine. Especially the common ones found in your grocery store. I'm actually drinking lemon tea right now 😂

Here's a list of herbs to avoid:

Answer

I've had 2 cuppa of black tea every single day thru 6 pregnancies with no ill effect. I sometimes also have a cuppa peppermint tea and another of chamomile tea as well. It's perfectly fine hun.

Answer

Myth. You can drink hot teas or cold teas. There are a few you should avoid though, mostly some herbals (Google it or ask doctor). Regular pekoe and earl grey are what I drink.... or rooibos

Answer

Ginger teas helped me with my nausea. I like Stash decaf chai tea too, drinking it right now.

Answer

I drink hot tea all time. That is false.

Answer

Green teas and black teas are said to hinder folic acid absorption. I avoided teas completely in the first trimester, and part of the second, because that's when folic acid is most important.

Answer

I've only heard to avoid certain herbal teas, but not regular black tea 🤷🏼‍♀️
