Re: teas
Green tea isn't bad per se, but it makes your prenatal less effective, I believe you aren't supposed to take them together.

Re: teas
You should also limit caffinated teas, especially if you're also getting caffine from soda, coffee & chocolate

Yes. Some of the essences are not good during PG. Echinacea, GoldenSeal root, Raspberry, Green Tea, Black Cohosh...... it is the herb, not the caffeine that causes the issue. Alot of these herbs cleanse your blood, but they can also cause uterine contractions. Let me see if I saved the article.....

Don't cry I say bring it to your Dr to the next visit & see if the cautions are not just being overly zealous b/c they are not regulated by the FDA.
