Green Tea and Pregnancy is a common and very relevant topic for expectant mothers and women who are thinking of conceiving. If you love your green tea like I do, you will have to make a decision about whether to drink green tea during pregnancy, be it in moderation or not at all.
Most practitioners will tell you to err on the side of caution and to avoid caffeine or cut back on your caffeine intake to a "moderate level". The definition of moderate varies anywhere between 150mg - 300 mg.

Green tea is a great source of antioxidants, but the medical community warns against it during pregnancy because it can reduce the efficacy of folic acid. Folic acid is very important during pregnancy as it helps neural tube defects in the first month after conception. Epigallocatechin gallate which is in green tea may affect the way the body absorbs folate.

Here are some important resources regarding green tea and pregnancies.
