Herbal Tea*

Hey dolls! Some of you have contacted me saying you want to see more personal content and this is what we are going to do today. It was especially Linda who texted me on Instagram, after seeing my breakfast story the other day, telling me how much she misses one of her favorite beverages, the green tea now that she is a mom to be.

I am not personally experienced but I have acquaintances, a doctor friend and I also like to read a lot, and what I have noticed is that women during the pregnancy months have to make big sacrifices especially in their diet. This is the case for green and black tea, as it has caffeine, a substance that is forbidden for the pregnant ladies to consume.

A good alternative to that could be herbal teas. Not only they replace the black and green tea but they also provide additional vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Studies have also showed that raspberry leaf is safe to consume during pregnancy and can even shorten the duration of labor. Apart from the raspberry leaf, other beneficial herbal ingredients are chamomile, peppermint, ginger, lemon balm, rose hips, nettles, and more. For more info you can check this website here where you can find your favorite pregnancy tea recipe and where they also explain in more details all you need to know about herbal tea.

Additionally, you can find custom pregnancy teas on the market, in a variety of flavors, so that you find what suits you best. As always, before trying any product make sure you first contact your doctor to assure you it is safe during pregnancy.

Thank you so much for your support and your messages, and I’d be glad to answer and to help in any of your questions.
