Historically green tea has been used as a digestive aid. It can certainly be useful to pregnant women.
* Natural energy boost
Again, I could find no studies that prove, but I drink Green Tea primarily for the natural energy boost it gives me, without the unpleasant side effects. I used to drink coffee in the afternoon, get shaky and hyper, only to crash later.
Green tea does not cause those unpleasant side effects, and also gives me the same feeling of "clearing the cobwebs" from my brain.
