I am currently in my 6th month and can't live without my morning chai! I just drink one small cup a day now. How many cups are u planning to have?

According to medical guidelines, keeping caffeine under 200mg daily is safe, which is about 1-2 cups of normal Indian tea. My doctor said just avoid strong green tea or herbal teas without asking first.

A cup or two of milk tea daily is perfectly safe. Just avoid having it right after meals because caffeine can block iron absorption in your body.

I am in my 18th week and I cut down to just half a cup, but I feel so tired without it. Is anyone else struggling to limit their daily chai intake?

Having gone through a long IVF journey, I was very protective of my pregnancy and decided to completely switch to warm milk. But a small cup of light tea is medically considered safe, so please don't stress.

I was very careful with my diet due to PCOS, so I reduced my chai to just once a day with very little sugar. It's safe, just don't overdo it.

No, a small cup of tea daily is not harmful. Just avoid drinking too much of it.
