No, you should be fine drinking decaffeinated drinks. A high amount of CAFFEINATED drinks will increase the risk of miscarriage.

Don’t forget to start taking your multivitamin now (containing 400 mg of folic acid). Folic acid BEFORE pregnancy will reduce your chances of having a baby with a neural tube defect (spina bifida), cleft lip/palate and heart defects. Plus new research is showing that if taken a year before pregnancy it is decreasing the chance of delivering a preterm baby less than 30 weeks by 70%.

For a list of foods that you should and shouldn’t eat, go to the March of Dimes web site. It will give you lots of information on pregnancy. http://www.marchofdimes.com.

I really doubt it – but make sure you go easy on it, because even decaffeinated coffee and tea have caffeine in it (just quite a bit less than regular). When I worked at a coffee shop, our decaf had the same amount of caffeine as 1/3 of a can of diet coke.

you can certainly have tea. The decaf is probably a better choice, but you can also have regular tea as long as you limit it to only having a cup or two a day. My ob told me not to stress too much about my caffeine intake as long is it’s kept to only one or two servings per day (and is something with a normal amount of caffeine – no double espressos or energy drinks for me…)

I have never heard of any tea causing miscarriages. I drank tea while pregnant with all three of my children, as did my mom, my aunts, my grandmothers etc. I would not worry about it. Tea is good for you, can’t imagine it would hurt the baby.
