[Shannyang]

I am 9 weeks preggy now. I used to liking bubble tea alot, but since I am pregnant, I've to skip it.. I have craving of drinking it but dunno can or not.. Anyone can advise me??

Bubble tea (depending on what type) has ALOT of sugar in it , so we worry about diabetes which can happen during pregnancy. that will lead to a HUGE baby <-- unhealthy and possibly born with diabetes. injection everyday is no fun. not forgetting to mention the difficulty of giving birth to a big angel.

One cup per few days is fine. dont ignore your craving but also limit yourself. :001_302:

hi all, i,too,have cravings for bubble tea and i had it like once a week,been two weeks now..

you can always request for less sugar and choose red tea instead of green tea. i heard green tea intake is nt advisable during expecting..

actually i love the pearls so i usually sip the pearls and left the half cup of tea to hubby..hehehe..

ho ho. I drank a lot of bubble tea during pregnancy. almost everyday.

bubble tea are not very healthy drinks.
pearls are carbo, the drink contains lotsa sugar and tea contains caffeine .

if your urine is high on sugar/carbo then should not take.
if you or your family has history of gestational diabetics but take in moderation too.

Hi
I drank ard 2-3 cups per week during my pregnancy, no prob with me n baby : ) of coz if ur doc commented that you may be at risk of gestational diabetes, then its a no no, after all, it has lotsa sugar and carbo..
