I have been craving iced tea from McDonald's sooo bad this week!! And I've actually had it a few times but I control myself and just get a small. I'm drinking unsweetened, so I'm not worried about that... I am worried about the caffeine. How much is too much?

You can have up to 200 mg. of caffeine from all sources. Tea has much less caffeine than coffee, so you can indulge in quite a bit before you have to be concerned.

You can have up to 200 mg of caffeine, though some docs will say more or less. Tea has about 28 to 38 mg of caffeine depending on the brand. I craved McDonald's sweet tea and had some about 3 days a week during my pregnancy.

I have actually read and heard that caffeine is not as bad as most people make it out to be... Of course, you should cut back, and drink water or some sort of caffeine free drink,, but drinking it every now and then will not harm your baby... I've tried telling my husband that, and he wont hear anything of it! haha no caffeine for me at all!

You can have up to 200 mg. a day. A 20 oz. tea has about 4. So I'd say you could drink it. I'm like you...I've tried to stay away from caffeine my whole pregnancy, but now I always want chocolate!! Chocolate has like 130 so I'd say it's safe to have tea.
