If you typically love to curl up with a cup of herbal tea, you might be wondering if you can continue to enjoy it while you're expecting.
herbal tea. We know it's difficult limiting your caffeine fix when pregnant, no more large cups of coffee, or endless cups of builder's tea. So you're on the right track by replacing caffeine with herbal tea, but just be cautious when doing so. When it comes to herbal tea during pregnancy, natural doesn't always mean safe.
Most herbal and fruit teas are safe to drink in pregnancy, as long as you don't drink them in copious amounts, especially in your first trimester. One or two cups a day should be fine, just don’t drink them continually. This is because herbal teas contain smaller amounts of the same plant chemicals as herbal medicines and can therefore have an effect on your bodily state if taken in larger amounts when you are pregnant.
What you can do is mix it up and not drink the same herbal tea every day, try different flavours instead.Find out about all the herbal teas you should steer clear of while pregnant.
