Green Tea
Hello ladies,
I'm new here and have a question. Have you heard Green Tea is bad to drink when pregnant? I drink it every day, but just heard this so now I'm gonna have to stop.

Re: Green Tea
wow, you learn something new every day.
I merely avoided it becuase of the caffeine. I never knew about its affects on folic acid absorption.....

Re: Green Tea
I think I have also heard that green tea strengthens your immune system to fight off invaders, etc. And in the beginning of a pg, the embryo is like an invader, only a good one but the body doesn't recognize this yet. So drinking too much green tea can possibly cause your body to fight off the embryo if you drink too much of it. So I stopped drinking it for all the reasons above, and this one I posted, as well.

decaf is fine......
don't even get into not being able to eat anything... I have gestational diabetes... that REALLY cuts things down  95% of what I drink all day is filtered water with a squirt of lime. I 'treat' myself to one AM decaf coffee with 1 sugar, and 1 celestial seasonings peach ice tea (unsweetened, but with caf).
then there are the food restrictions....
