Pregnancy Info HOME

Chamomile, ginger and mint tea were all recomended by my physician in the beginning of my pregnancy to help relax and ease some nausea symptoms. I was advised to avoid raspberry leaf tea until the last trimester because I have a high risk for miscarraige and uterine problems (I'm on my 14th pregnancy with only one living child so far) . Now that I am 39 weeks along I have the go ahead to take evening primrose oil twice a day to help soften the cervix and drink raspberry leaf tea in moderation to help tone my uterus and possibly ease things along a little. (we were told in childbirth class that too much of the tea can actually cause the placenta to seperate too early during labor, so no more than one cup every three hours) I would say always check with your doctor/midwife before taking or drinking anything. Your particular health situation (like my tendency toward miscarraige) could change the answer.
