Post subject: drinking confusion! Hello all!
I am nearly 5 weeks pregnant with my first baby, but I'm confused what I can drink (I dont mean alcohol). i normally drink peppermint tea, or white tea and peppermint but I have heard that peppermint tea can cause spina bifida and white tea has caffeine in it. I really struggle to drink plain water unless I am exercising and I dont like cordial or fizzy drinks. Help - what is safe to drink??!! Posted: Wed Apr 30, 2008 8:15 pm

Try Earl grey decaf it takes a while to get use to but very nice and also ginger tea. Even if it is just one cup a day will be ok.I am nearly 5 weeks pregnant with my first baby, but I'm confused what I can drink (I dont mean alcohol). i normally drink peppermint tea, or white tea and peppermint but I have heard that peppermint tea can cause spina bifida and white tea has caffeine in it.

Post subject: i would say if your really worried about it, speak to your midwife and she can put your mind at rest.
i know they say not to drink more than 6 cups of caffeinated tea or coffee a day during pregnancy but im not sure about the others. you will probably find they will be fine though. xx _________________
