I am 9 weeks pregnant and i have recently heard that drinking green tea while pregnant can deprive your body from folic acid. Is this true, should i discontinue to drink it?

To make sure your cup of tea is free of any herbs your practitioner hasn't approved, read labels carefully; some brews that seem to be fruit based also contain a variety of herbs. Stick to regular (black) tea (preferably caffeine free) that comes already flavoured, or mix up your own by adding any of the following to boiling water or decaffeinated tea; orange, apple, pineaipple, or other fruit juice, slice of lemon, lime, orange, apple, pear or other fruit, mind leaves, cinnamon, nutmeg or cloves.
Green tea should probably be limited during pregnancy since it may interfere with cell development and growth. And never brew a homemade tea from a plant growing in your backyard unless you are absolutely certain what it is and that it's safe for use during pregnancy.

I don't think you should stop drinking green tea, I've heard it's good for you. I drink it all the time and feel great! Green Tea ROCKS, and congrats on the baby :)

You should check with your doctor but to the best of my knowledge it does not.
