Also, What about Ginseng products?
I am not talking about taking these excessively, but possibly a cup of tea a day.

a bit of caffeine is ok, but no on the ginseng.

I drank tea 2-3 times a day (sometimes more) with both my pregnancies without any problems. Tea is quite good for you... it's an antioxidant. I wouldn't worry about it. You could ask your doctor about ginseng products... though I would say stay away from it, unless it's in its natural form. I'm sure you already know: No herbal stuff (it can bring on contractions).

My doctor told me I can have two cokes a day so I just gauge by that. Not sure about Ginseng, but I love Chai Tea from Starbucks and was wondering the same thing. Just try not to have too much caffine in 1 day.

Caffeinated drinks need to be limited to one cup per day
"Before more information in humans becomes available, women should be cautious about using ginseng in the first three months of pregnancy and it is always advisable for pregnant women to consult their doctor before taking any herbal supplement."
They have found evidence that ginsenoside Rb1 – one of the principal active components of ginseng – can cause abnormalities in rat embryos.
Their research is published today (Thursday 25 September) in Europe’s leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction[1].
There are also reports it can cause embroyo death
Ginseng is not as good as anyone thinks especially if used long term. You should check into it

you would have to ask your dr. bc it is different with everyone...BUt my dr told me a limited amt of caffeine a day is ok as long as its not much...for instance i usually have a cup of coffee m - f on my way to work then weekends i try to stay away from it sometimes i dont or instead i might have a lil soda or even tea depending on my mood..just majorly limit yourself and keep in mind taht they say the more caffeine you have during pregnancy the more hyper the child is that could be wrong but thats what they say! congrats enjoy your pregnancy!!
