Question:
I am 11 weeks now and am still suffering from Nausea. I am taking 3 to 4 tablets of Declectin per day and it helps alot! I am no longer throwing up everything I eat. I do however still have nausea throughout the day just not as severe. I have found that Peppermint and Spearmint tea help as well as Ginger tea, are these safe to drink throughout the day and how much is safe?
Answer:
Ginger tea is considered safe as it is used specifically for NVP in up to amounts of
1000mg/day which is a lot of cups of tea. There are no studies on the
safety of spearmint or peppermint tea in pregnancy,however Health Canada
advises use in moderation(1-2 cups per day).
