Is it ok to have Starbucks...
... Vanilla Chai Tea. I am so addicted to it. It doesn't have caffeine right?

Re: Is it ok to have Starbucks...
All caffeinated drinks from Starbucks tend to have extra caffeine than regular coffee and usually A LOT of sugar. Chai might have less caffeine, tea usually does, but it has A LOT of fat and sugar as well.
Maybe an occassional small one.

Re: Is it ok to have Starbucks...
I believe that there is a lot of caffeine in chai teas because they are black teas... you may want to check the nutrition info (which you can get at starbucks or on their website).

Re: Is it ok to have Starbucks...
My doctor said it was ok to have a coffee a day. I can't stomach it, but I miss it.
When my SIL was pregnant last year, she went to Starbucks and they refused to serve her! She complained and got a $50 gift card and a teddy bear for my neice.

Actually the Opposite is true.
There was a reprot done a few months ago that showed Starbucks drinks have very little caffeine in them,. They have lots of other crap..LOL....But their lattes had less then half the caffenine then a Dunkin Donuts coffee.
I think it was on dateline or one of those shows.
I usually have a pumpkin Spice Latte about once a week this time of year and still will even though Im PG.

Re: Is it ok to have Starbucks...
I've been drinking caffeinated coffee throughout my pregnancy but try to limit it to one cup a day. I'm sure you'd be fine with what you're getting, just don't order the large size. How does your OB feel about caffeine during pregnancy? You may want to ask him or her just to be sure.
