Can I Drink Green Tea While Pregnant?

Conclusion

Although the evidence against caffeine during pregnancy is not conclusive. Doctors recommend to play safe by taking only a maximum of 200 mg of any form of caffeine a day. Green tea may be OK to drink in moderation because a cup typically contains less than 45 mg of caffeine, but you’ll want to check with your doctor to be sure.
