Patient's question:
I really like drinking tea. If I don't drink tea every day, I feel uncomfortable with a bloated stomach. After getting pregnant, I didn't want to eat and only wanted to drink some tea every day. But my friend said that drinking tea after pregnancy might lead to miscarriage. Does drinking tea cause miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it is considered that drinking tea in moderation during pregnancy will not cause miscarriage. However, frequent tea consumption may affect iron absorption due to the polyphenols in tea. Regularly drinking tea can exacerbate symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy. It is recommended to pay attention to rest and enhance nutrition during pregnancy, and to supplement iron and calcium moderately in the second trimester to meet the growth and development needs of the fetus. In addition to not drinking tea, coffee should also be avoided, as well as some stimulating beverages.
