Tea: Pregnancy

Tea provides many wonderful health benefits - especially when pregnant. While pregnant, it is important to monitor what goes into your body closely. While many people rave about the antioxidants in green tea, it is better to go with caffeine-free tea while pregnant since caffeine has been shown to increase the risk of misscarage.

This hub focuses on the benefits of tea during pregnancy and includes what tea to look for.

While many teas can lower your blood pressure while pregnant, which can be beneficial for baby, it is also important to make sure that what you're sipping doesn't include any harmful ingredients to your fetus.

Besides avoiding caffeine, it is also important to steer clear of Coca, Comfrey, kava root, skullcap, valerian, woodruff, lobelia, and mate while pregant.

I recommend looking for an organic tea blend specifically for pregnancy since this will provide the maximum benefits from tea without causing you worry about the ingredients.

If you have any concerns, you should always talk to your doctor first.
