ok to drink tea in first trimester?

Hello, it's my first pregnancy and am trying to be as careful as possible. Is it ok to drink green tea or oolong tea during first trimester? It helps with the bloatedness but my parents were telling me it's a no-no... Anyone able to advise please?

This may or may not be the case. Teas made from herbs like peppermint and thyme may be safe to drink occasionally in small amounts while you're pregnant or nursing. But drinking excessive amounts of any tea can cause health problems for you and your developing baby.
