Green Tea During Pregnancy

[Indadhanu]

I also drank a lot of green tea until I found out i was pregnant because it inhibits the absorption of folate. I personally couldn't take that chance after I found that out.

I heard that once you get to the second trimester it is safe, as the caffeine content is less than that of black tea or coffee. Three or four cups of green tea contains approximately the same amount of caffeine found in a single cup of coffee.

But I steer clear because of the folate thing...
