EllaG`s poll Show results | Hide results


Pregnancy-poll poll How bad is tea during pg? I generally drink about 2 cups (fairly weak) a day. I know the tannin in it prevents iron from being absorbed and that the caffeine is a no-no, but is there any safe amount? I can’t stand green or herbal teas.

V bad, cut it out all together
Not too bad – your 2 weak cups won’t do any harm

Don`t worry E11a, a coupla cuppas a day won`t do you any harm! When my m/s passed I drank a cup of coffee a day for most of my pregnancy I think. Everything`s fine in moderation! xxx

Herbel teas are out while you are preggo anyway. Most tea actually has more caffine than coffee so staying under 2 cups should be fine. I wouldn`t have any more than that.

You can get decaf tea is you are worried and also I would cut down to one cup but thats just my opinion. Never know it could be good for you.

I read last month that you should never have any more than 2 cups of tea a day... but screw that! I regularly exceed that limit, and I have very strong tea too... maybe that`s why my kid`s so hyperactive - It`s the caffeine kicking in, lol.

I never cut down on my tea intake as that was the only thing that could help my heart burn and sickness along with ice cream! All my bloods always came back ok and baby was healthy so I am exactly the same this time! x
