  • What kind of tea? Just regular black tea? Are you worried about the caffeine? brewed tea doesnt have as much.caffeine as coffee and actually around 200 mg of caffeine a day is perfectly fine I think tea only has like 40 or 50 mg depending how strong u make it. But its fine no worries I have a cup of tea every morning :)
  • I drank tea with sweet n low my whole pregnancy and I have a super healthy happy 15 month old daughter
  • I was told tea was a no no due to the high antioxidants mostly during early pregnancy. Any one else hear this?
  • @hflowers, thats what i heard. Well i stopped so i hope my baby is ok.
  • All the southern mommas drink sweet tea daily. And my ob says its fine. But talk to ur ob if u r worried.
  • @eaparker, my ob said, no sweet tea or anything caffinated. sweet absorbs iron and your baby need iron. This may cause delay in baby growth too. I think i'll just stop, better to be safe then sorry.
  • @laurenmarie729I, just regbteabfrim mcdonaldbor the ones you buy from the store.
  • Mine said to stay under 200mg caffeine and my iron levels r fine and baby is growing fine. Guess its one of those things that's different with each person.
  • @laurenmarie729I, sorry. My phone sucks at typing. Just the reg tea from mcdonald or the store.
  • @eaparker, maybe so. thanks a lot!
  • No problem i know we all want happy healthy babies.
  • Ooh ya my ob said its totally fine to have tea Just use moderation. Ive heard of some other types of herbal teas that arent good not sure what they are. But my ob even suggested chamomile.tea to help with nausea and.constipatio. I would just give your ob a call if your worried....now im crraving some lemon iced tea! To bad its snowing where I am!
