My mother-in-law suggested traditional ginger-coriander warm water instead of tea. However, my doctor said one small cup of light green tea is okay, but not more. Always better to go with what the doctor advises!
I just delivered a few months ago, and my gynac strictly told me to limit green tea to once in a while. I totally missed my daily cups, but it's better to avoid high caffeine for the baby's safety.
I know how carefully we watch everything we consume, especially after a long journey like IVF. Green tea has caffeine and can also affect folic acid absorption, so it's safer to avoid or limit it to just one cup after consulting your doctor.
Actually, green tea contains caffeine and can interfere with how your body absorbs folic acid, which is crucial. Limit it to maximum one small cup a day, or better, switch to caffeine-free herbal teas.
Oh, I know how hard it is to give up our favorite warm drinks, it feels like such a struggle! Green tea has caffeine, so please limit it to keep your mind at peace. You are doing a wonderful job, mama!
