Drinking Chai tea while pregnant?
I haven’t had very many cravings yet (I’m 11 weeks) but lately I’ve been wanting chai tea really bad.
I actually work at a store that has it’s own coffee stand so I’m able to make my own drinks….
There is this amazing powdered chai (by oregon chai) that we use to make blended chai’s….and I love it!
I’m just worried that the amount of caffeine will hurt my baby.
what do you think?
thanks!
Although non-herbal tea is assumed to have great health benefits due to the antioxidants, it also contains caffeine, which pregnant women are often encouraged to eliminate or cut down on during pregnancy. The average cup of non-herbal tea contains about 40-50 milligrams of caffeine. Decaffeinated non-herbal tea does still contain a bit of caffeine, however the amount is usually only about .4 milligrams.
Caffeine does cross the placenta and reaches your developing baby, and the baby cannot metabolize caffeine like an adult can. For this reason, there is much controversy on how much caffeine is safe or if it should be avoided altogether. We know that the less caffeine consumed, the better it is for your pregnancy. Talk with your midwife or doctor about what amount you feel is safe for you. This will then help you make the decision on whether to consume non-herbal teas (green or black ).
