I enjoy drinking tea, especially masala chai, a few times a day. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm wondering if it's okay to continue my habit. Is tea generally considered good or bad during pregnancy, or should I limit it?
Look, a little tea is fine, but don't drink 4-5 cups a day thinking it's normal. Caffeine limit exists for a reason in pregnancy. One small cup in the morning is more than enough.
I had to limit my chai after my C-section because of gas and acidity, which made recovery thoda painful. During pregnancy too, I kept it to just one small cup a day. Take care of your tummy.
If you can't live without tea, just make it lighter with more milk and less boiling. Keep the cup size small and don't drink it late in the evening so your sleep doesn't get disturbed.
Hey, don't stress too much about completely quitting tea! One small cup is totally fine, just don't have it on an empty stomach. Enjoy your small chai break, you deserve it.
I totally understand how hard it is to give up your daily chai, it's like a warm hug! But for the baby's safety, please keep it to just one cup. You are doing so much for your little one already.
My MIL always said too much tea causes dark skin or acidity, which is half myth half true! I restricted myself to one cup of light ginger tea, which actually helped my morning sickness.
