Iced Tea....

Is it ok for me to drink bresh brewed Iced Tea?  I'm 15 weeks.  I know it has caffeine but I don't know what the caffeine content of iced tea would be.
My friend just got some freshly brewed Sweet tea (YUM!!!!!) 32oz and I've been sipping it little by little, I don't want to drink it all at once....Is it ok?

its fine.  Most doctors will agree that caffiene is fine in moderation.  I believe they say one cup of coffee or 3 sodas is the limit on caffiene for a pregnant woman.  Enjoy your tea.

I haven't had any caffeine for weeks (except for the small content in chocolate).  And I'm ok drinking caffeine, I won't freak out about it, I just don't want to go over the limit andI don't know how much is the content of caffeine in Tea.  
it tastes soooooooo good!!!!

I just googled it...it has less caffeine then coffee. Like an 8 oz coffee has 100mg and an 8 oz ice tea had 40...

Caffeine in moderation is OK! I had to drag my crazy DH into the OB with me for my Dr. to tell him to give me a break! LOL I was having one soda/ or tea a day~that's it and my hubby thought it was the worst thing ever! My Dr. set him strait and told him some is ok, just don't go around drinking Red Bull!

Oh no, Redbull tastes like cr@p!  I haven't been drinking any caffeine mainly because it makes me pee a lot, not so much because of the caffeine content because I used to only drink one cup of coffee anyway so that's nothing!  But I haven't had any in a few weeks and I didn't know if drinking it after so long would cause a reaction or something.

I am enjoying the hell out of this Sweet Tea tho :)

Caffeine can also dehydrate you ... probably one of the reasons they say to drink it in moderation.  

I drank soda here and there, as well as a cup (omg, or two!) of coffee while I was pregnant ... and look at Jaiden!  =D  No worse for wear.  As long as caffeinated drinks are not the only thing you're drinking, I'm sure things will be perfectly fine!  Just make sure to get your water in!  =D

I LOVE LOVE LOVE tea! I drink a glass in the morning and one with dinner! It is ok in moderation. Just drink lots of water along with it.

I agree, My Dr. basically said that 2-3 caffeinated 16 0z beverages per day would be ok, as long as I increased my water intake by whatever my caffeine intake was as well! I usually had 1 coffee and 1 soda per day, or less.. You are fine! =D

I drink mountain dew 2days a week. And boy is it the best dew ive ever had when i drink it. LIke the other women said 2-3 cups a day is ok, but i would not want to even drink that much in a week. Give it to your self as a treat, you ll love it even more:)
