I cant start my morning without my chai, its like my whole routine. Now that im pregnant everyone is telling me to cut it down and im confused if its really that bad. Anyone still having their tea during preg?
My doc said tea is fine but watch the caffeine, she told me to keep total caffeine low, like one or two cups of normal chai a day max. Too much caffeine isn't great. Also strong tea with iron tablets can reduce iron absorption, so I kept a gap.
I kept my tea to one cup a day in pregnancy, my mother also said dont go heavy on it. The main thing is the caffeine, so moderation is key. If you have herbal teas, check those with your doctor first, some arent advised.
Yaar I couldnt give up my morning chai fully haha. Doc said one cup is fine, just dont overdo caffeine. Actually I switched the second cup to weak/decaf type. Bas iron tablet ke saath chai mat piyo, gap rakho.
A cup or two of chai a day is generally ok, it's the excess caffeine you want to avoid. I cut down from my 4-cups habit to one. Also dont take tea right with your iron tablet, it affects absorption. Ask your doc for your limit.
