Peppermint Tea

in 1st Trimester
So I just read that I pretty much cannot drink any of the hundreds of tea in my house and I am very sad. I read that peppermint tea is probably safe, does anyone drink this and know if it's ok?

It's just a raining cold day today, and I want something warm and without caffiene. It's crazy the list of things I need to avoid, I will if I need to but I hope at least I can have some type of tea.

    I drink mint tea almost every day. It helps with nausea as well.

    Thanks! I didn't get a list of things to avoid or anything from my doctor, so I really don't know

    there are lots of books out there, some of the stuff on the internet can be scary. My list from my doctor did not mention any tea except to limit my intake to 200 mg a day (the equivalent of 2 cups of coffee)

    Try the Mayo Clinics Guide to pregnancy-I downloaded it on amazon for less than 10$

    Oh that would be a good one. Ya I was reading some crazy things to avoid on the internet and my friend told me to stop looking. In what to expect it does say stay away from herbal teas since they don't know what's in it, but peppermint has to be safe.

    Pure peppermint tea is fine. It can help with nausea.

    Ya I have come to realize there is a lot of crazy info on the internet just meant to scare pregnant women. I am going to prevent myself from searching those things

    I'm in the same boat! I needed to find something for the nausea and read that peppermint tea was good - but then I noticed online that tea is NOT good for pregnant women. I'm so confused! They said as an alternative, you can make your own by steeping fresh mint leaves in hot water. I may try that.. or else I will worry myself to death!
