Green Tea

[treebaby]

Does any one here know if it's okay to drink green tea while pregnant? If it's not, do you know of other hot teas that would be acceptable? Thanks for any info you all have.

I am far from a medical expert, but I am pregnant and I drink green tea on occasion. In the early parts of pregnancy, I drank a lot of decaf tea with real sugar because coffee tasted horrible to me. I think there is a decaf green tea available if that worries you.

Teresa,

Because I had to cut my caffeine (I went from SEVERAL cups of caffeinated coffee down to ONE a day) I started drinking decaf green (hot) tea and TONS of it! I would drink atleast 2 cups a night most nights when I was pregnant! Never had a problem. It's the amount caffeine that you should watch, not the tea (or coffee for that matter) itself.


'Sides, they say that green tea is very good for you!

HTH!

Thanks so much for the responses! I realize it's silly, but I was getting my feelings hurt thinking no one was going to respond. So, thanks again!
