I usually drink different teas all day such as peppermint, fruit, green etc. Just spoken to a midwife who said I should only be having 2 a day! When it gets colder, I really just struggle to drink water! Is it just me or am I being awkward? 😂

If its a hot drink you are after would hot lemon and honey cut it for you?
I am all about fresh pineapple juice I have restricted it as I could drink it all day every day

They're probably just concerned about the caffeine content. As long as it's decaffeinated, I'm sure your teas are fine.

The only herbal tea I was told to moderate was liquorice. No other advice on herbal teas at all. I would have thought that it was better to drink these than be dehydrated

I drink tea about 2-3 times a day. Was never told not too😅 I also crave Lucozade orange (fizzy).... I shouldn’t but I do, I love it !

I was struggling with water as well and my midwife suggested sugar free squash. I love robinsons orange with loads of ice. Fanta zero and diet lemonade have really quenched my thirst too x

Hot water with lemon, ginger and honey?

I’ve heard that white tea and twig tea have a lower caffeine content than black and green teas, so that might be nice to mix into your daily intake. I’ve been enjoying fruit juices mixed with seltzer water for a refreshing beverage and peppermint and ginger teas for cozy beverages.

Hey! I’ve lived off cups of tea for the last 9 month, the caffeine content is much lower than coffee but I bought decaf Yorkshire tea to be on the safe side 😊 xx

Red raspberry leaf tea

I’ve discovered sugar free squash with cold sparkling water that’s refreshing and a way of having water that’s a bit more exciting x

Craving milk and milkshakes.. Lots of it!

I drink a lot of squash which I never do when not pregnant as I always drink just water but for some reason when pregnant I struggle with it. I drink peppermint tea too. I don’t think peppermint tea has caffeine so I can’t see why u can’t drink that too often? X

Your teas that are caffine free are fine.Im a tea drinker too, all types too! Which were fine, only one I avoided was liquorice. think she may of been referring to your standard tea.

I wasn’t enjoying water at first but now am actually loving it I drink so much water and vimto juice xx

Sparkling water 😂 a little more fun than just plain ole water

Water and about 10 cups of decaf tea a day 😂

I’ve been drinking a lot of Tetley Redbush tea as its caffeine free and tastes almost like regular black tea... if not I drink water or 7up free/7up cherry as they are also caffeine free

The whole 2 cups per day thing is meant as a guide for caffeine, so non caffeinated herbal teas should be fine unless she specifically said no to those.
