Many pregnant women who enjoy drinking soy chai lattes wonder if it
is safe to do so during pregnancy. This tea has less caffeine than
coffee. It also helps some women to relax and that is generally a
positive thing when it comes to health.
This tea contains anise,
which has been linked to miscarriages. Anise is known to bring on
contractions. That is the reason why some women are wary of drinking the
tea while they are carrying their baby in their womb.
Not
all soy chai latte’s contain anise. If you really want to have a cup,
choose a brand or a store that does not use this spice or spices that
have a similar side effect
when making the beverage.
According to Drugs.com, anise is not
recommended for use in pregnancy. You should also be careful with meats,
liqueurs and other food products that contain this flavoring.
As
with everything else, if you choose to drink a soy chai latte tea during
pregnancy, you should do so with caution. Moderation is the key. If you
have any health issues that you feel might exacerbate the effect of
anise, speak to your gynecologist about it.

Effects on Children of Teen Parents- Disadvantages, Problems, Imapct and Needs
Children of teen pregnancy are at higher risk for a wide range of
diseases and conditions that can affect children. Doctors are aware of
this and pay special attention to teenagers who become pregnant whenever
this is possible. They will point out the increased risks to the
teenage mother so that both parents and the immediate family can be
better prepared and take precautions where necessary.
Children of teen pregnancy are more likely to be born prematurely. Being a preemie, or a premature baby comes with its own share of problems. Kids who are born too early sometimes have organs that are not fully developed. They may die if they do not receive the right kind of help through specialized equipment that can help them perform the vital functions of life until their little bodies are able to work on their own.
These little ones have a low birth weight. Some of them are really tiny and may remain that way for the first few years of life. Although some of these kids start out small, they may grow significantly as they move into adolescence and by adulthood they may be the same size as other people in their age group.
Children of teen pregnancy are also more likely to die as infants because their bodies are not properly developed. The babies experience more illnesses and sometimes have cognitive delays. However, if a child does not display any signs of problems at birth it is less likely that they will have issues later on with their health.
One of the problems that teen mothers often face is that of their own children engaging in early sexual activity. They usually warn their kids of the possible outcomes of early sexual activity but some of these children disregard the warnings. In fact, children who are born to teen mothers and fathers are more likely to engage in early sexual activity.
