Stay happy and positive, a little chai is fine if it keeps your mood good. Just keep it in moderation and eat healthy meals.

I know we Indians can't live without our chai, but try to limit it to just 1 small cup a day. Too much caffeine isn't great for the baby, so keep it in control dear.

Same here, I am currently pregnant and can't start my day without tea! Gynac told me up to 200mg caffeine is fine, so 1 cup of home-made chai is totally safe.

I used to drink 3-4 cups of chai earlier, but during pregnancy I strictly kept it to just one small cup. It's better to be safe and avoid acidity too.

Honestly, I thoda cut down on chai during my pregnancy on doctor's advice. Having just one small cup a day is generally fine, but don't overdo it.

I had one cup of light ginger chai every morning and it actually helped with my nausea. Just don't drink too much of it and avoid it close to your meals.
