No. The only thing "questionable" about green tea is the high levels of caffine. You've made it this far. I'm sure you and your baby are going to be fine.

Uh, if that were true then China would have a lot less people in it. Also I can speak from personal experience that I had a cup regularly when pregnant with both of my boys and they are nearly 6yrs old & 4 and were both perfectly healthy from birth.

green tea can interfere with the absorption of folic acid.
