I used to drink green tea daily before and now im like thoda unsure if I should continue. Read somewhere about caffeine na. Im 10 weeks, is it fine to have or better to stop?
Actually, my doctor told me that green tea has caffeine and compounds called catechins which can interfere with how your body absorbs folic acid. So it's best to avoid it in the first trimester. If you really want it later, limit it to one weak cup a day.
Haha, I used to think green tea is super healthy, but during pregnancy, even that came with a warning list! I just stuck to my regular ginger chai in small amounts. Save the green tea detox for post-delivery days.
During my monthly consultation, my hospital's nutritionist explicitly told me to limit green tea to one cup because of the caffeine content. If you are unsure, just ask your doctor during your next visit. They can give you a list of safe beverages.
I panicked so much when I realized I drank green tea in my first week before knowing I was pregnant! But my doctor reassured me that a little bit doesn't cause any harm. Just avoid it or keep it very limited now.
I had to cut down on my boba and milk teas, so I switched to green tea, but then found out we can't have too much of it either! Having one cup a day is fine, but don't drink it like water. Sometimes I just crave a warm cup so bad!
Hamare ghar mein toh saunf aur jeere ka pani peete hain gas ke liye, green tea ka riwaj nahi tha. Green tea mein thodi caffeine hoti hai toh pregnancy mein door hi raho toh achha hai. Apne doctor se zaroor pooch lena.
Green tea contains caffeine, which you should limit during pregnancy. I completely avoided it in my first trimester and only had it occasionally later. It's better to stick to warm water or fresh coconut water for hydration.
Instead of green tea, you can try safe herbal options like ginger-lemon water or warm milk with saffron. Green tea has caffeine, so it's not the best choice right now. But if you have any acidity issues, check with your doctor first.
I read online that green tea stops folic acid absorption and now I am so scared because I had a cup yesterday. Has anyone else had green tea occasionally during their pregnancy? I will definitely ask my gynac on Monday.
Green tea is not completely bad, but it can reduce folic acid absorption if you drink too much of it. Limit yourself to maximum one cup a day, and never take it near your prenatal vitamins. Hope this helps you!
Look, anything in excess is bad, and that goes for green tea too. It has caffeine just like black tea or coffee. If you can't live without it, have just one small cup, but don't make it a habit.
Personally, I stopped drinking green tea altogether as soon as I conceived. I didn't want to take any chances with caffeine or vitamin absorption. I just stuck to plain fresh fruit juices instead.
