Don't know about TTC, but once you are pregnant, I know green tea is supposed to be bad in your first trimester, because it depletes the folic acid, which is very much needed to prevent spinabifida and other things.
UGGH!! I didn't know it depleted the folic acid. Well, that seems to defeat the purpose of me taking the prenatals now. I think I may have to abandon the green tea altogether then. I'm going to be a mess in the mornings.
Thanks!!
How about trying the decaf black teas? I don't think they have any side effects.
Doh!! Why didn't I think of that, just try another kind of tea, or even regular decaf tea.
Thanks!!
I still drink my coffee. I use 1/2 caffeine. My OB says 2 cups of regular isn't going to hurt anything, so I can have 3-4 of 1/2 caffeine :)
Mmmmm, coffee........coffee coolatta......... LOL - Some reason I'm sounding like Homer Simpson lately. (I was hooked on coolattas at one point) I never tried decaf coffee but I read that caffeine thins out your uterine lining so that's what made me try and really stay away from it.
That's a good idea to do the half and half thing. Thanks!
oooooh....i HAVE TO drink my coffee in the morning, or else my other half of the brain won't work! (the one half is highly doubtful to work in the morning...)
No, seriously tho, i just drink half of a cup (bigger stirofoam ones) and that's it!.....remember? i have a 'beautiful' lining!!!!!!!
oh how i want to start a lining pageant now....
LOL .... you and your beautiful lining LOL. You probably had your ultrasound picture framed :-)
