I used to have lemongrass tea daily before pregnancy, it was kind of my evening thing. Now im 14 weeks and not sure if i should continue. anyone checked with their gynac about this?

Beta these herbal kadhas and teas should be taken carefully when pregnant, not freely like normal days. If you want something soothing, warm water or a little ginger. Anything herbal, pehle doctor se pooch lo.

I'd check with the doctor before drinking it regularly. Herbal teas aren't all automatically safe in pregnancy.

I love herbal teas but during pregnancy I got cautious. Plain ginger tea for nausea was okayed by my doc but lemongrass I avoided since I wasnt sure. Better to clear any herbal tea with the doctor honestly.

Shweta Singhal · Answer

Lemongrass tea is one of the herbal teas usually advised in moderation or avoided in pregnancy, opinions vary. I'd not have it daily and would just ask my gynac first, herbal doesnt always mean safe.

Occasional cup probably wont harm but I wouldnt make it a daily habit during pregnancy. I switched to plain warm water with lemon and stuck to that. When in doubt, ask the gynac.
