I really miss my morning chai and someone suggested switching to plain black tea instead. But now im not sure if even that is ok during pregnancy. Im in first trimester. How much is fine, or should i just avoid it fully?
I used to worry so much about my chai habit. Doctor reassured me a small amount is fine, its the excess caffeine to avoid. I just switched to one weak cup and felt better about it.
A cup or two of light black tea a day is usually okay, the issue is caffeine so dont overdo it. I cut down to one cup during pregnancy. Too much caffeine isnt good, so keep it limited.
My gynac said keep total caffeine low in a day and black tea counts towards that along with coffee. So one light cup was fine for me but not many. Best to confirm your limit with your own doctor.
At home everyone drinks tea so I had a little too, just lighter and less often. The main thing elders and my doctor agreed on was not too much caffeine. A small cup should be alright dear.
Actually I had my chai during pregnancy too yaar, just made it lighter and only once a day. Caffeine zyada nahi hona chahiye bas. One cup is generally okay, dont stress.
