Im 2 months along and i used to drink green tea almost daily before. MIL said stop it completely but i actually find it helps with my bloating. is it really ok to have one cup or should i avoid fully?
I used to live on tea, in pregnancy I just cut down to one small cup and switched rest to plain water. Green tea still has caffeine yaar, so moderation is the key, not banning it fully.
My amma said anything in small amount is fine and too much of anything is not good. I had occasional green tea and my doctor was okay with it. Just check with yours to be safe.
I like green tea for the light feeling but kept it to one cup since caffeine adds up with coffee too. My gynac told me to count total caffeine in the day, not just one drink.
My doc said green tea has caffeine so keep it limited, like one cup max in a day. She wasnt against it fully, just said dont overdo it because too much caffeine isnt ideal. Better ask your own gynac for your case.
One cup a day didnt cause me any issue. Honestly i kept it simple and didnt buy fancy herbal blends, some of those have herbs that arent tested for pregnancy. Plain green tea in limit, ask doc before herbal ones.
