? Understanding Tea and Pregnancy
Tea can offer hydration and even health benefits, but it can also contain caffeine or herbs that may not be safe for your baby. Knowing the difference is key.
? Recommended Teas During Pregnancy
Ginger Tea – Eases nausea and promotes digestion.
Rooibos Tea – Antioxidant-rich, caffeine-free, and safe.
Chamomile (in moderation) – May help with sleep, though large amounts are discouraged.
Nettle Leaf (in second or third trimester) – Nutrient-rich but use with medical guidance.
These teas support comfort, digestion, and calm — perfect for your body’s changing needs.
? Teas and Ingredients to Avoid
High-caffeine teas (black, pu-erh, matcha) — limit or avoid
Certain herbs like sage, parsley tea, ginseng, and licorice root — linked to pregnancy risks
Unregulated detox or slimming teas
? How Much Is Too Much?
Even with safe teas, balance is everything:
Limit caffeine to <200 mg per day
Stick to 1–3 cups daily of approved herbal teas
Avoid late-night tea if you’re experiencing frequent urination or heartburn
