I have tons of it but can't figure out what is ok to drink and what isnt. Any tips on where to find the info or do I just google every kind I want to drink?

    Pretty much every type you want will not be recommended in pregnancy. I think that this is because no one "knows" that the herbs are safe an dsome of them can have bad effects in large amounts. My guess is that pretty much any kind is ok in small amounts, but then again, I was afraid to drink anything but water when I was pregnant.

    I have a friend who LOVES tea and is almost at 20 weeks. I'm not sure which kinds she is drinking, but I found this article that might be helpful. It seems like the herbal ones are better since they are naturally caffeine free! GL :)

    This is what my Dr said (other than the pregnant part Wink) A lot of them will say "do not drink" or "consult a physician" on the box regarding pregnancy if they're thought to be harmful. I've had (no more than a cup of) green tea, Irish breakfast tea, Ruibos, peppermint, sleepytime (regular, not extra strength) and any fruit teas.

    I didn't read through everyone else's responses so pardon me if I'm repeating anything.

    Glad I am not the only one who thought this was a clue. But my first thought was "she must really like tea if that is a clue!"

    The only kind that I've been drinking - at most 1 cup a day is ginger lemon. I don't drink anything with caffeine in it.

    Congrats!!
