What herbal teas can I drink? First trimester

Question

Hi All,
So I love herbal teas and I have been reading up on what is safe to have and what isn’t. I know peppermint and raspberry leaf are out of the question as they can promote contractions. 
Anyone else looking into this? There is so much conflicting information, I might stay away completely until my midwife appointment next week!

Answer

My consultant told me absolutely no herbal tea especially in the first one but that could just be me and my situation x

Answer

This one is all over the map. No one has done any studies on teas because concentration and plants vary so much. I drank peppermint tea most of the first trimester to help with my bloat and no issue. Many people will say better safe than sorry so dont recommend any teas. But I read hibiscus, peppermint, lemongrass and raspberry leaf were bad. I asked several midwives and yes they can cause some muscle contractions (which is why peppermint can help with bloat) but they arent enough to cause a miscarriage or otherwise. Only one folks have been staunchly against is the raspberry leaf. Everything else is generally okay as long as you arent drinking a TON a day. 
I had also heard, btw, that pineapple could cause contractions or weaken the cervix. After some research it was basically found that you would need to eat 5-6 whole pineapples. 
It is all a matter of quantity and since quantities cant be guaranteed on tea people just avoid allowing it. Hope that makes sense. I would try half a cup of whatever you would like and feel whether it upsets your abdomen.
