Again, THIS DRINK IS CAFFEINE FREE. PLease stop telling me about the caffeine in green tea. This drink does NOT have caffeine. Geez. My question is not about caffeine. I NEVER drink caffeine anyway. READ.

Answers:
First, you should be avoiding caffeine. Most people don't know it. but tea, esp green tea, has a lot more caffein than coffee, So stay away while your pregnant/breastfeeding. Drink herbal teas, like mint.
Second, and more important, if you need to wonder if something is bad for you while you're pregnant, JUST DON'T DO IT!!!! It's not hard. If you need to ask, then don't. Common sense should tell you that you should stick what is known, smf learn from relaiable sources (that is, NOT Yahoo Answers) about what is and isn't harmful.. Even your Dr can't know everything, so avoid anything 1) you don't know about, 2) that contains even the slightest amount of a drug (like caffeine) or alcohol, 3) any drug or chemical that can be absorbed through the skin (like acne medicine, etc.) Even if your Dr says it's cool, if you don't absolutely need it, don't take it. You would be surprised at even the most seemingly harmless things that can affect you baby.
