Tea drinking?

Question

So I've heard that there are certain types of tea that you can drink when preggo no problem, but that others are too high in caffeine or herbal supplements or whatnot. What do you guys know or think? I'm only used to drinking 2-3 cups a week, and have refrained since finding out I was pregnant, but now I'm starting to miss it!

Answer

I heard that chamomile and lemongrass are supposed to be off-limits when you are pregnant, as well as tea's that are designed for females that contain herbs that help to regulate a non-pregnant woman's hormones.  Too much caffinatex tea would be bad (green, black) but a little is fine, as long as you are keeping your caffeine content down to less than 200 mg per day (about 2-4 cups of those teas per day).  Other than that most of the herbal stuff should also be taken in moderation (even too much ginger can be harmful!) I am a HUGE tea lover and that is the extent of my tea knowledge.  Good luck!

Answer

Raspberry leaf tea is supposed to be awesome for pregnant women. It helps tone the uterus for child birth. I was told to drink one cup per day per trimester. (First trimester-1, cup; second trimester-2cups per day...etc) so that's the one I drink the most, but I'm a big tea drinker!

Answer

I drink black tea when I just can't make it through the day.

Answer

I drink chamomile and peppermint, with honey and lemon. It's mostly the caffeine content but there are certain herbs to stay away from while pregnant. I think juniper berries is one.

Answer

I drink ice cold sweet tea on occasion. It doesn't have that much caffeine. Apples have as much sugar as a soda. Chocolate has caffeine. I didn't stop eating either of those.

Answer

I'm having a cup as I read this! Decaf Lipton. I don't drink it every morning but maybe every other.

Answer

I drink peppermint tea and chamomile (nighty night). As long as they don't have caffeine I think it's fine.
