Is it good to drink tea during pregnancy?

Question

I cant start my morning without chai, like 2 cups daily minimum. Now im pregnant and feeling guilty every time. Is it actually bad or thoda ok hai?

Chhaya Agarwal · Answer

Listen, don't stress too much about cutting it off completely! One cup of light milk chai a day is totally fine and keeps you sane, just don't drink it on an empty stomach.

Kanika Chadha · Answer

Yes, but keep it to one cup a day. Too much caffeine is not good.

Andal Shetty · Answer

Actually, limit it to one small cup a day yaar. Having too much tea can cause acidity and block iron absorption, which is really bad during pregnancy.

Please ask your doctor about your caffeine limits. I had severe acidity and blood pressure fluctuations, so my gynac completely stopped my black tea.

I love my morning chai, but since we are trying to conceive, I have started cutting down to just half a cup to stay on the safer side.

Chitralekha Raju · Answer

I couldn't live without my evening ginger tea, so I just drank one small cup daily throughout my nine months and felt perfectly fine.

Chintamani Mohapatra · Answer

I switched to decaf because I was worried about caffeine affecting the baby. Is anyone else also getting anxious about having even a single cup of regular chai?

Indira Sahu · Answer

Making simple ghar ki chai with a bit of ginger is much safer and cheaper than those expensive herbal teas that claim to be pregnancy-safe. Just stick to one cup and save money.
