Tea?

[Hal775]

I'm currently 14+3 and I switched from coffee to decaf tea before I realised I was expecting (I guess my body didn't want coffee at all, the smell made me queasy) I've been having maximum 3 cups of decaffeinated Yorkshire tea. I know there's still a small amount of caffeine in decaf and I've heard bad things about how caffeine is removed. I'm wondering is it possible to have too much decaffeinated tea? I've been really enjoying it and I'm worried I've been drinking too much.

You’ll be fine. I drank normal tea during my second pregnancy as decaf just doesn’t do it for me and all was fine.

I'm still having a normal caffeinated cup of tea a day. And a small glass of diet coke for when I'm nauseous. Just being mindful of max daily caffeine intake as per NHS website really.

I used to be an absolute coffee fiend but cut down/had mainly decaf while TTC and totally went off the taste very soon after getting pregnant!

You'll be fine. Try the Hot Tea Mama teas - they are decaf teas made especially for pregnancy. Best wishes for your pregnancy.

I drink normal tea

Only thing I could drink was full strength coffee, water came straight back up. You'll be fine with your decaf tea.

Thanks 😊

In my first trimester I was super fussy and wouldn't go over 1 cup of decaf, but by the 2nd I relaxed a bit and now with only a few weeks to go I actually have the odd coffee! Did the same with previous 2 pregnancies and it was absolutely fine. Have a look on the NHS website if you need reassurance, but honestly you will be grand
