Drinking Tea During Pregnancy
Is it safe to drink tea during pregnancy?
My first thought would be yes, especially if you were to make sure it was decaffeinated...but the answer to that question actually seems to be more complex...
Are you aware that Green Tea can have negative affects on folate absorption during pregnancy? Do you know the differences between herbal and non-herbal teas? Do you know which kinds of herbal teas are safe to drink?
I found a couple of articles discussing these issues:
Drinking Herbal Teas During Pregnancy
The Side Effects of Green Tea During Pregnancy
Is this new information to you? How about within your community, is this common knowledge?
