Is it safe to drink chinese green tea while pregnant?
Green tea is safe to drink while you are pregnant, however, it should be moderated. I have read several recent reports that say that intake should be limited to 8-10 oz. a day. Like coffee and other things, all teas does have caffeine in it, and there could be effects on the baby if you have too high of an intake during your pregnancy. Also, where other member mentioned that it was and antioxidant, it is true, but cleaning out your body too much while pregnant could be dangerous because your body acts differently during times such as pregnancy. I personally would get your own OBGYN’s opinion, however in my last pregnancy (2005), I did limit my intake and I drink a ton of green tea everyday. Congrats on your pregnancy and I hope your baby is 100% healthy.
