Am I Drinking Too Much Tea?

[SeaThreePeeO]

I have cut caffine out completely. Mainly because the thought of drinking tea or coffee makes me want to vomit. However I got some decaff tea, so I can still have a cup of something hot and sweet in the morning.

I had headaches and been a little more tired then usual for the first few days. But now I don't miss it at all. I am hoping to remain caffine free after pregnancy as I used to have terrible trouble sleeping at night and I suspect the caffine was to blame.

Bit of an old thread, but I was a heavy coffee and tea drinker, once I got pregnant, I became turned off on coffee (which is probably a good thing) but not tea, I've cut down to 2 cups of tea a day, though I may squeeze in a 3rd on occassion in the evening after dinner if I am really craving one. So at the most 3 cups a day.

1-2 cups is about the limit for tea. It drives me crazy because I can't have any juice or anything besides unsweetened tea or water.

I have some PG tips decaf and it tastes just the same. Was a bit of a waste though because now I can't stand it! I can't even sit next to someone drinking tea without feeling queasy!

I am thinking I am going to switch to decaf, though I remember decaf not tasting the same as reg tea ... that could be dissapointing, tea makes me happy .... lol! Who wants to drink unhappy decaf tea?

i used to drink a bunch of coffee and water but i am glad to say i am down to one coke a day and no coffee. My ob said everything in moderation was ok to drink. LIke i could drink 2 cups of cofee a day and like 2 cans of coke but i opted for the safer thing and only drink one can of soda for lunch and sometimes i drink it for breakfast but i stay away from it the rest of the day. Its hard but i hope i dont go back on coffee wich im sure i will once the baby is born.

Decaf Yorkshire tea tastes almost (not quite) the same as the real thing thank god cos i love it!!
I drink decaf tea and coffee now all the time but if im out at costa or whatever and i forget to ask for decaf it doesnt bother me, sometimes i need the boost anyway lol!

So I picked up my decaf tea this aft on my lunch break, now I have a question, being I bought the decaf, would I be able to have alittle more cups of tea in a day then?

I think decaf is like 4mg/ cup (at least the one I bought), so you could have up to 50 if you wanted.

LOL, I'd be definitely in the bathroom all day!
