1st Trimester

Decaffeinated Chai Tea

Is it safe?  I forgot to ask my doctor at the first appointment but will ask her next Wednesday.  A friend of mine would not drink it when she was pregnant because of the herbs that are in it but she didn't have any clear reason why it wasn't okay.

 Any of you chai tea drinkers have thoughts/opinions or have any of you asked your doctors?

 TIA!

  • I sure hope it's fine! It's one of my favorites! I drink the caffeinated kind, but that is my only caffeine all day.

  • I LOVE Chai Tea and I had some two days ago. Chai tea is not an herbal tea it is a black tea that contains several spices. I have an indian coworker who is a gynecologist and she said Chai tea is perfectly fine. Do what you feel is best for your pregnancy so inquire with your doctor. Good luck to you :)

    I am a decaf chai addict but I heard that the anise in it is what pg women shouldn't have, so I cut it out.

    Here's the only thing I could find about anise and pg online: https://www.babycenter.com/0_herbal-teas-during-pregnancy_3537.bc

     Please let us know if you hear otherwise!
