Green tea makin me sick :-(

in 1st Trimester

I was so excited to make iced green tea at the office this morning - but I can't drink it because it's grossing me out :-(

 I think that during pregnancy I should only steap tea bags from 2 minutes instead of 3. Coffee

    I'm not sure if you know this, but you are not supposed to be drinking green tea during your pregnancy. ?It counteracts the beneficial effects of your much-needed folic acid. ?The fact that you're getting sick from it may be your body's way of rejecting it since it's not good for you. ?Good luck!

    Me too - I gave up coffee for green tea about a year ago and when I found out I was preggo I stopped drinking it and all caffeine. ?I think I really just miss being able to drink something that wakes me up a little bit!?

    I haven't been drinking green tea, since some say it affects absorption of folic acid, but it does sound yummy. Once I had it I would probably think it was gross, though.

    My dr told me that unless I take my folic acid at the same time I drink my green tea there is no effect. ?I have 1 green tea/lemonade from starbucks almost everyday!

    Thanks for the tip!  I will be sure to ask my doc what she thinks before making more green tea :-)
