couple of questions

I have discovered that if i am feeling really sick, a cup of tea will settle my stomach, i have heard that you shouldn't drink tea while pregnant due to the caffine, as since i dont normally drink tea, this isn't going to be harmful to the baby is it?

and the other questions is does anyone have any good recipes that use lots of different veges, like vege quiche or anything like that?

I have had one coffee every day, and bub seems fine. I always drank two cups (before becoming pregnant) but cut down to one a day. Mind you if I have a cup of coffee I dont drink things like coke or Diet coke etc...

A little caffine wont hurt the baby. Trust me I asked!

you can decaffeinate tea by 80% by letting the tea bag sit in the hot water for a minute then tipping out the water and using the tea bag with new water.

apparently the caffeine comes out first.

it's on the little booklet thing in dilmah packs

i drank heaps of tea while pregnant but decaffeinated most cups.

I often put grated carrots in things, like spagetti sauce, even omelets. grated courgette is good too, for "hiding" veges.

I drank coffee and tea every day when I was pregnant. I was told to try not to have more thasn 3 cups a day so that's what I did. And I never had decaf...

Im not a big hot drink person but I found tea hepled settle my belly in the morning! ive been craving v i know its bad but my specialist said to just get a can and drink it slowly dnt skull it and no more than 3 a week.. she said it will b fine, my friend dosnt really care about beng preg still smokes dronks bottles of v's and coke and lives on coke and eats poorly and all the foods they tell you no to eat, her first bubs was fine and her 2nd preg going fine so far.. and bak in the day they had no warnings.. my mum smoked and drank a few glasses of wine while she was preg because she didnt know better, and im fine

man Ayja looks sooooooo different Janine

She is growing up so fast

On the topic of V - am I "allowd" to drink it while breast feeding???

Ana, I'm not entirely sure, it does say on the label that pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek advice.
I've had a V while breastfeeding but I do watch that sort of stuff because of the incident when I first had an espresso coffee... after feeding Han she screamed for about 2 hours and wouldn't go to sleep. Now she's fine.

Ask a doctor if you are worried but I'd think a little bit here and there would be fine
