I am a chai person and stopping completely is feeling impossible. I am 6 weeks and nausea is there, but tea also comforts me. How much tea did you drink during pregnancy?
With gestational diabetes, I had to be super careful about everything, including even 'healthy' drinks. Tea, especially if it's sugary or very strong, should be consumed in moderation. Herbal teas can be an alternative, but even then, check with your doctor to make sure there are no contraindications. Caffeine intake needs to be monitored closely.
Haan ji, chai toh Indian ghar mein chalti hi hai. Thodi bohot le sakte hain, ek-do cup din mein, par light waali aur doodh wali. Bahut strong aur bina doodh ki nahi. Aur chini bhi kam daalo. Mere gynac ne bhi bola tha ki moderation mein theek hai. Zyada peena achha nahi.
Look, chai is fine, but common sense lagao. Don't drink 5-6 cups a day, that's too much caffeine for anyone, pregnant or not. One or two light cups are generally okay. If you're really worried, switch to decaf or herbal teas. But always confirm with your doctor, what's good for one might not be for another.
Humare ghar pe toh sab chai peete hain, toh meri saas ne bhi bola ki ek cup subah aur ek shaam ko le sakte ho. Bas bahut kadak wali nahi peena aur zyada masala mat dalna. Aur kehti thi ki adrak wali chai achhi rehti hai, but again, in moderation.
