Green Tea And Pregnancy

Does Green Tea And Pregnancy mix well?

If you are pregnant, the best thing to do is limit any drink with caffeine.

Caffeine is a stimulant and not good for a growing baby. To much of it may cause you to have a miscarriage and we certainly don't want that.

Dr Mercola says that no amount of caffeine is safe during pregnancy. It can severely damage the baby's heart. He also says it can be transferred through breast milk.

These can be the results of drinking caffeine:
* Increased risk of miscarriage
* Low birth weight
* Birth defects such as cleft palate
* Increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
* Decreased levels of iron and calcium in the expectant mother

There are studies that say this can happen while others say there is no link.

The studies say that 200 - 300 mg of caffeine a day could cause a miscarriage. That is just a couple cups of coffee.

Green Tea only has about 25 mg of caffeine in an 8 ounce cup. Visit this page to learn more about caffeine in Green Tea.

If you were looking for the benefits of tea but didn't want to risk the caffeine, you may want to check out the liquid vitamin and mineral supplement I use.

1 ounce of that is equal to 4 cups of Green Tea without the caffeine!

If you are planning to have a baby or are having a baby, I hope that I have helped you with the information that you were looking for.

If not, please let me know what you were looking for so that I can add it to this page.
