Is it okay to drink iced black tea during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

My friend gave me several boxes of iced black tea. This brand of beverage is my wife's favorite to drink. Maybe my friend doesn't know that my wife is pregnant. Perhaps pregnant women can drink iced black tea, but I'm not quite sure. Is it good for pregnant women to drink iced black tea?

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women should avoid drinking iced black tea during pregnancy and consume other beverages in moderation. The best drink for pregnant women is plain water, as most beverages contain many other ingredients and additives that are not beneficial for the baby's development. During pregnancy, it is mainly recommended to drink milk and water, while also reducing the frequency of eating out, as outside meals are not always very hygienic. Pay attention to preventing digestive discomfort or diarrhea, and actively undergo regular prenatal check-ups.
