    Green tea is another great option for pregnant women, but keep it mind it does have caffeine. Follow your OBGYN's guidelines one caffeine consumption as he/she will probably have a daily limit you should stick to.

    Unsafe Teas to avoid while pregnant

    It is always best to err on the side of caution when it comes to the safety of your unborn child which is why these teas should be avoided:

    • Chamomile
    • Dandelion
    • Earl Grey
    • Licorice
    • Cohosh
    • Rosehip
    • Nettle

    Why organic tea is a must during pregnancy

    When you are pregnant, you want to know what you are putting into your body. Some herbal teas have other ingredients that are unsafe. Organic, although more expensive, is safer!

    They use only the one ingredient so you know what you are drinking. Again though, always double check with your OBGYN. At your appointment show them the tea you would like to start and see if they give you the all clear.

    It helps your OBGYN make a quick decision too, when the ingredients list is small so they can give you an answer right away.
