    Nay. Doc said no green tea bc it prevents folic acid absorption.

    If you just avoid it within the two hours of taking your PNVs it won't interfere with the abosorption.

    My doc says its fine. But because tea has caffeine in it...drink in moderation. Tea for me is like coffee for others. My drink of choice (in fact im drinking it right now for lunch)...Snapple Raspberry Tea...made from the best stuff on earth!!!!!

    I personally don't worry about caffeine but do limit my intake from pre-pg levels (only one D.Coke or Ice Tea, not multiple in a day) and most teas have less caffeine than either sodas or coffee so I have had tea this pregnancy but that particular tea was actually one of my favorites pre-pg and I had on the other day and it tasted like dirt.  Literally like dirt.  But if you want some I see nothing wrong with it - what's your OB's stace on caffeine?

    Real green tea (brewed) has 24-40 mg of caffeine. Arizona tea has about 11 mg. This is so far below the recommended maximum of 200 mg that I would not worry about it at all. I drink a cup of green tea every morning (but my PNV before bed for the reason PP mentioned). Personally, I would try to limit it just because of the sugar, but otherwise I think it's totally fine.

    my doctor did not give me any indication on what to avoid, so just going off of what's been said on here and in my book.  i usually have one in the afternoon, if i'm getting gas, soooo maybe around twice a week.  i'm not going to worry about it, if i decide to have one i will, if not, i won't.  thanks ladies!
