【Can You Drink Tea During Pregnancy?】
Drinking tea during pregnancy, especially strong tea, is not recommended. Generally, strong tea contains caffeine levels as high as 10%, which can increase the frequency and rate of urination and heartbeats in pregnant women, as well as increase the burden on the heart and kidneys of pregnant women. It may also lead to preeclampsia, so it is best to drink less tea.
If you drink too much strong tea before delivery, the caffeine in the tea can have a stimulating effect and cause insomnia. If you have insufficient sleep before delivery, it often leads to exhaustion during childbirth, weak contractions, and even difficult labor.
New mothers who want to breastfeed themselves should also not drink too much tea. Because if you drink a large amount of tea during this period, the high concentration of tannic acid in the tea will be absorbed by the mucous membrane, affecting the blood circulation of the mammary gland, inhibiting the secretion of breast milk, and causing insufficient milk production.
In addition, after the mother drinks tea, the caffeine in the tea can permeate into the breast milk and indirectly affect the baby, which is not beneficial to the baby's health.
