Honestly, in this third trimester, my daily single cup of chai is the only thing keeping me awake and functional! Just stick to one cup and don't make it too strong. We have to survive somehow, haha!

I am a total chai lover and cutting down was so hard for me! I felt so guilty even having one cup early on, but my doctor reassured me that one small cup is absolutely fine. It really helped with my morning headaches.

Yes, 1 small cup of mild tea a day is totally safe. Just avoid strong black tea.

Since my pregnancy was through IVF, I was extremely careful and limited myself to just half a cup of light tea a day. Doctors generally say up to 200mg of caffeine is fine, but please listen to your body and go slow. Wishing you a very safe journey.

Having one small cup of tea daily is generally safe for most moms. Just try not to drink it on an empty stomach to avoid acidity. Take care.

When I was staying at my parents' house, my mom used to make me a very light ginger-elaichi tea once a day. She always insisted on reducing the tea leaves so it's not too strong. One small cup in the evening is perfect.
