Honestly i cant function without my morning chai but now im 7 weeks and worried about the caffeine. Do i have to fully give it up or is one cup ok? Mere saath anyone else struggling with this?
My pregnancy tracker had a built-in caffeine log which was super helpful. It showed that one cup of Indian milk tea has around 40-50mg of caffeine, so staying within the 200mg limit is actually very easy. Just track your cups and you are good to go!
Haan na, a cup of hot tea is so important when you feel tired during pregnancy! I used to have one small cup of elaichi chai daily, and it really helped my mood. Just don't drink too much of it, ho na, balance is key.
Yes, you can absolutely have tea, but you should limit your daily caffeine intake to under 200mg, which is about one or two small cups. Also, try not to have it right after meals as it can hinder iron absorption. If you have any specific health conditions, do ask your doctor first.
My family was very strict about avoiding too much tea or coffee because they believed it causes body heat. But I asked my doctor, and she said one cup of light tea daily is perfectly safe. So I enjoyed my ginger tea without guilt, but always trusted my doctor's advice over old wives' tales.
You don't need to buy expensive decaf or organic herbal teas at all. Normal home-brewed chai is completely fine, just keep it to one small cup a day and make it at home to save money. Spending too much on fancy pregnancy teas is a total marketing gimmick.
