Someone gifted me a jar of manuka honey and I keep using it in my morning tea. Now im 14 weeks and suddenly wondering if its actually fine during pregnancy or not. Has anyone had it regularly?

Honestly manuka is so expensive na. Normal good honey does the same for a sore throat. I didnt waste money on the imported one.

Just a gentle note, honey is still sugar. I had GD so i had to be careful even with the natural stuff. If your sugar is normal then a small spoon is okay, otherwise ask first.

I used a little honey for sore throat and it was fine for me. Manuka is just a fancier honey honestly. Small amounts in tea or warm water should be okay, but check with your doc if you have gestational diabetes.
