Can we drink green tea whilst pregnant? I've heard and read so many different things

Here's the page:

Don't know how to do the link properly.
Hope it helps

I work (or should I say worked) for healtheries - our naturopath said green tea is too stimulating so to avoid it, but generally you are safe with one cup a day of most of the teas. I did post the list somewhere on here once, but you'll find it on the website ....

Thanks Kabe.

Heres the list again, for anyone interested ....
