caffeine

I read on a web site pregnant people can have up to 200mg of caffeine a day. Is that true? I don't mind giving it up but I'd love to be able to drink my plum tea

Yeah, just try not to drink too much because foods also contain caffiene! Lol I always forgot about that.

I was real nervous about drinking tea as well... But crave ice tea a lot:-) so I asked my doctor is it safe to drink while pregnant n she told me its fine as long as I'm bot drinking 5 cups a day.... So I only have 1 or 2 n thats it. So I don't anything wrong with it as long as its not too much. So enjoy that tea girl:-)

200 mg a day is fine.  I've done extensive researching on it and no adverse effects are seen at that amount.  I've always tried to keep it at 150mg so if I forget to count something I have a 50 mg cushion.  Enjoy your tea :)
