Pregnancy cravings and a desire for comfort often lead to tea. But hold on! Not all teas are created equal, especially when you're expecting. Certain herbal teas can pose a risk and might even contribute to miscarriage.
While many teas are perfectly safe, some contain herbs that can stimulate uterine contractions or have hormonal effects. Common culprits include: Parsley tea, sage tea, pennyroyal tea and high doses of chamomile. These have traditionally been used to induce menstruation and could be dangerous during pregnancy.
Always consult your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional before consuming any herbal tea during pregnancy. They can provide personalized advice based on your individual health situation. Play it safe and prioritize a healthy pregnancy!
