Are you worried about the caffeine/sugar?? It's fine in moderation, most doctors will tell you 1-2 soft drinks, teas, coffee a day during pregnancy as long as it's not a high risk pregnancy. Make sure you drink extra water along with the total 6-8 glasses you're supposed to drink a day if you are drinking the 1-2 caffeinated drinks because they dehydrate you more. I honestly don't think it will hurt you, but if you'd feel better call and ask your OB/GYN and have him approve it as well.

I never heard anything about tea not good for pregnant women. i have been dringing pekoe tea my whole pregnancy. It's just a blend of all diffent pekoe teas, it's in tea bags, I brew it in a tea maker and it is the best tea I ever had. I never had any problems with it. I'm sure sun tea is fine. I don't know what I would have done without tea. There seems to be a lot of people craving tea during pregnancy these days. I don't know what it is. The only thing to watch out for is tea with lots of caffiene. If you get caffienated tea don't drink so much.
