You just gotta avoid certain herbal teas. But green, earl grey, english breakfast, etc are good.

Black tea is fine as long as you haven’t drank that much caffeine that day.
Just look up teas you can drink third trimester. The restrictions are stricter first trimester so it should be a pretty long list for you.

Ginger, turmeric, lemon and honey. Best natural remedy and tastes delicious

Licorice root can cause preterm labor. I just googled the ingredients when I was in my second trimester and looking for tea.

Ginger and honey tea is safe. Ginger also helps with nausea. But i had a cold twice during my last pregnancy. (Baby is 4 months and 1 day) ginger and honey tea helped a lot. My old coworkers were always sick and coming by my area getting me sick.:roll_eyes:

I was told by both my boys obgyn my normal sweet lipton black tea was fine to drink but since it had the caffeine in it to limit it to only a few cups a day and make sure when you drink it you increase your water. When I was sick I would make it hot and sometimes add a splash of honey and lemon juice.
