Answer 1

~ Decaf black tea is just fine to drink during pregnancy. You can also drink   Rooibos tea. This is because it contains no caffeine right from the point when it's harvested. Since caffeine is something which you need to keep an eye on during this special time, rooibos tea is your best bet. It is known to be safe for both pregnant, lactating women, and children of all ages.

Green tea should not be drink during pregnancy because it can interfere with the absorption of folates in the diet.

Some herbal teas are safe during pregnancy but others can be dangerous. The linked articles tell which ones should be avoided.
