I am suffering from terrible pregnancy insomnia - last night I only got about 2 hours of sleep, which is making work very difficult! I've been thinking about having a cup of chamomile tea before bed to help relax me ... is it safe? I know several tea's are on the "do not consume" list. Anybody else drink chamomile during pregnancy?
-
I've been drinking it. I haven't read anything against it. Plus I believe it is naturally caffeine free.
-
Yes, drank it all the time. My doctor said any tea was fine, as long as it was a legit brand.
-
I have had some. I asked my doctor and she said it was perfectly fine.
-
I didn't ask about chamomile specifically but my nurse also said that any tea is fine in moderation.
-
Yup my midwife said any herbal tea from a real brand is fine in moderation- you'd have to really be guzzling it to get too much of any certain herbs or whatever.
-
I haven't heard anything about chamomile, but my doctor is very adamant that green tea is a no-no. Apparently it prevents you from absorbing folic acid.
-
my dr says any herbal tea is fine in moderation (nothing like 6 cups/day, but less than that is fine)
-
@Mrs.Ham: ob said I could but I only did when sick (not regularly).
-
I drank A LOT of chamomile tea while I was pregnant.
