Is it Ok?

Is it ok to have a cup of tea one or two times a week? (sometims more), I was just wondering if that amount of caffeine could harm the baby, I heard that tea has more caffeine than coffee, and i'm not sure abut that, i don't like coffee but i love tea. Any suggestions?

My doctor told me that up to 2 cups of coffee are OK but if you say tea has more, I would cut back to maybe 1 cup until you ask your doctor.

Steep the tea for a minute, (removes most of the caffine) then put it in your cup/pot.

I normally have at least 2 cups of coffee a day and sometimes a 20 oz mountain dew. My baby is just fine and my son turned out fine with me drinking both. You should be ok with tea.

During my second pregnancy I had gestational diabetes. So I lived mainly on diet pepsi. Plus I terrible headaches so my doctor prescribed caffeine pills. He turned out perfectly healthy and is fixing to turn four.
