I used to have green tea daily before pregnancy and i really miss it. Ab confused whether its safe to continue or i should stop completely. Did ur doc say anything about it?
While green tea has no sugar, it does contain caffeine which can sometimes affect your metabolism. Be careful with how much you drink and always check with your dietitian or doctor if you have any special conditions like diabetes.
I am actually trying to conceive now and have thoda cut down on my green tea just to be safe. I read it has caffeine which might affect folic acid absorption, so maybe having it in limit is better.
I also love green tea but switched to warm lemon water mostly because I was worried about caffeine. Are there any other herbal teas that you guys are drinking which are safe? Let me know!
Beta, green tea is healthy but in pregnancy, limit it to just one cup a day if you really crave it. Too much can interfere with how your body absorbs iron and folic acid. Take care of yourself.
Having one cup of green tea occasionally is absolutely fine and won't harm anything. Just don't overdo it because of the caffeine content. I had simple ginger tea mostly and everything went perfectly well!
