You’re allowed up to 200 mg of caffeine daily throughout pregnancy, so any of the black teas you usually like are probably fine! Stay away from ashwagandha, which has been linked to miscarriages. People also say good things about raspberry leaf tea; there’s not a lot of science to back up any real benefits, but it’s nice and definitely pregnancy safe.

There is zero evidence to support any negative implications and I know informed practitioners who have said it’s perfectly fine. I did it with both of my pregnancies without issue. It will not put you in labor. It just helps ripen and prepare your cervix. Most natural interventions will not put you in labor unless your body is actually ready. Just another common misconception.

Why no green tea? I haven’t heard anything conclusive on green tea outside of ensuring it’s taken into account with the overall caffeine intake.

Interesting… wonder if the antioxidants it provides counterbalances that risk. Adding this to my list of questions for the OB next visit (unless someone goes in before me and can confirm!)

If you like green tea and are looking for a “replacement”, you might like oolong tea.

Black tea for a little caffeine (keeping under 200 mg caffeine/day, as mentioned above) and rooibos when I want a non-caffeinated option (there are some chocolate flavored ones I really like)

You can consume green tea with two conditions- 1) make sure you consume less than 200 mgs of caffeine daily (green tea does have the highest amount of caffeine); 2) space out prenatal vitamins and tea as much as possible (e.g., have the tea only in the morning while prenatals before bed)

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.
