I love having a warm cup of cinnamon tea in mornings but now thinking twice. Is dalchini wali chai ok in pregnancy or better to skip? dont want to take any chance. pls share.
Honestly, you should avoid cinnamon tea during pregnancy. High doses of cinnamon can lead to uterine contractions or affect blood sugar levels. Stick to plain warm water or decaf tea, and always consult your doctor before trying herbal remedies.
I just delivered last month, and I remember asking my gynac about cinnamon tea because I had bad sweet cravings. She strictly told me to avoid it as it can trigger contractions or affect blood pressure. Better to be safe and avoid it completely during these nine months.
My doctor specifically advised me against drinking herbal infusions like cinnamon tea because cinnamon contains coumarin, which can be unsafe in large therapeutic doses during pregnancy. Having a little sprinkled on your oatmeal is fine, but concentrated tea is a strict no. Always clear any herbal teas with your obstetrician first.
Since I had thyroid issues, I was extremely careful and never took any herbal teas like cinnamon tea without asking my doctor. He told me it can interfere with blood sugar and thyroid medications. Please consult your doctor in your next follow-up before drinking any herbal teas.
Haan, a pinch of cinnamon in your normal chai is fine, but drinking pure cinnamon tea in large amounts is not recommended, na. It can sometimes cause body heat or contractions. Better to stick to normal ginger-elaichi chai and ask your doctor.
I love cinnamon tea but I'm currently planning my pregnancy and was wondering if I should stop it. I heard cinnamon can cause uterine contractions in large amounts. Has anyone else avoided it while trying or during early pregnancy?
I had a smooth normal delivery and during my pregnancy, I kept my diet very simple and avoided concentrated herbal teas like cinnamon. A tiny pinch in your masala chai is perfectly fine for flavor. Just stay safe, drink plenty of water, and consult your gynac about your tea cravings.
I had such bad morning sickness that even the smell of cinnamon made me throw up! But generally, my doc told me to avoid herbal teas like cinnamon tea as they can be too strong for the baby. If you have nausea, try simple ginger tea or lemon water instead, it's much safer.
Please be very careful with herbal teas during pregnancy, dear. While a little cinnamon in food is completely safe, concentrated cinnamon tea can sometimes stimulate the uterus. It's best to avoid it for now and talk to your gynac before drinking any herbal concoctions.
Having a little cinnamon in your daily meals is fine, but I avoided cinnamon tea completely during my pregnancy because of safety concerns. Now that I am breastfeeding, I still prefer simple, safe drinks to keep my milk supply good. Your safety and baby's safety come first, so do check with your doctor.
