Tina Wells How is this a good news regarding tea/coffee and pregnancy? Drinking, even a half cup of coffee, increases the chance of miscarraige and low birth weight! So your conclusion should be that women should avoid. That Danish study is cited by Doctors to recommend pregnant women to avoid caffeine all together (including decaffeinated ones as they are worse) 3/3/2009
Santana It was informative but wasn't exactly what i wanted to know. I wanted to know what the effects of green tea supplements were for a pregnant women and what problems could arise with the baby. 4/25/2008
Mom During my second pregnancy, I drank a lot of green tea for the first trimester without knowing the harm since Green Tea has very little caffeine. However, my second child was born healthy, but now at 15 month is diagnosed with hypotonia. The only thing I did differently between the first and second child is the excessive tea drinking. 3/14/2008
