I am currently just over 1 month pregnant and am experiencing mild morning sickness. I too wanted to know if I could drink tea. After researching the net, I found that Rooibos tea is supposed to be one of the safest teas for pregnant women to drink since it is low in tannin (it won't cause uterine contractions like some other herbal teas) and is prefered in South Africa by pregnant women to help reduce morning sickness. As long as it does not contain Rosemary or other herbs linked to early labor, uterine contractions, etc., it is recommended for pregnant women. Check out the internet. It is great. I personally prefer the Celestial Seasons Vanilla Red Rooibos tea. I am going to ask my doctor about it to make sure. Please do the same! Don't take my word for it alone! Hope this helps all of you looking into drinking tea!
