Can I eat black tea while pregnant?
!With care
Black tea is generally safe in moderation during pregnancy, keeping an eye on your overall caffeine intake.

Emily's honest take
Many authoritative pregnancy guidelines, including those from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the NHS, suggest limiting your total caffeine consumption to less than 200 milligrams per day while pregnant. A typical 8-ounce cup of black tea contains about 40-70 milligrams of caffeine, so you can generally enjoy one to three cups daily, provided you're not consuming other caffeinated foods or drinks. Remember that caffeine can cross the placenta, and it's important to consider all sources of caffeine, like coffee, chocolate, and certain medications, when calculating your daily intake.
Always check with your OB for personalized advice, mama.
