Is black tea bad for pregnancy?

The amount of caffeine in black tea varies depending on the type of tea and how it is brewed, but a typical cup of black tea contains around 40-60mg of caffeine. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that pregnant women limit their caffeine intake to 200mg per day, so a cup of black tea is generally considered safe during pregnancy.

One thing to keep in mind is that caffeine is also found in other foods and beverages, such as coffee, chocolate, and energy drinks, so it's important to consider your total caffeine intake from all sources. If you're concerned about your caffeine intake, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian.
