is lipton iced tea ok for pregnant women to drink?

Tea Question

I heard that tea in general is bad for pregnant women, im 37 weeks pregnant and im in love with ice tea i haven't drank it at all in my pregnancy but now i don't think i can hold off anymore.

Answer
Iced tea is not safe during pregnancy. Lipton iced tea is no exception. The high caffeine content, sugar, and other preservatives flow directly to your baby.

It is not safe to drink tea while pregnant mostly due to the high caffeine content. So, if you think you are going to give in to your ice tea craving, you need to look for decaffeinated ice tea, or make your own at home.

You can buy decaffeinated tea, brew it, add honey and lemon and that should curb your craving.

I hope this helps, and wish you a happy healthy pregnancy, but please stay away from the Lipton Ice Tea during your pregnancy.
