Before I got pregnant I LOOOVED my tea. I have heard from a few different people that tea while pregnant can be unsafe for the baby, Can cause early labor, etc. Does anyone know any more about this the or if there is any truth to tea being unsafe?

They have a lot of pregnancy teas. And raspberry tea is really good for you, I was told to have it the whole time. And I know others who had it the whole time.  I have never heard raspberry tea to cause labor

Green tea and sleepy time tea are ok to drink. You might want to  drink them hot though. They're disgusting when cold. I put honey and peppermint in mine to help coat my throat and help with bloating. My doc said I don't have to change those.

Probably cause it has caffiene in it. Caffeine is bad. I haven't had one sip.

I heard camomile tea (can't remember how to spell it I think that's right ha!) Isn't good in early pregnancy because it can cause preterm labor. But around your due date its fine. But that's all I was told. I drink green tea all the time.

I've drank tea throughout my entire pregnancy, sometimes almost daily. Either cold sweet tea or hot tea. I have 5 days left until my due date and my baby is perfectly healthy. Just limit yourself, don't drink too much in one day. Only have like one cup/glass a day

It depends on the tea. I would ask your doctor whats safe and whats not.
