Tea!? Should i worry!?

Question

Just had a cup of peach tranquility herbal tea from teavana, and it had licorice root in it. Should i worry?

Answer

That amount shouldn’t be an issue if you just had one cup, especially this late in pregnancy. I wouldn’t necessarily drink it every day but it shouldn’t be something to worry about.

Answer

No, I asked the doc about tea last appointment and she told me that anything by a reputable brand in a teabag you can buy at the store is likely fine especially if it’s a cup or two. She said to stay away from loose-leaf

Answer

I drank a cup of herbal tea with licorice daily for weeks during my first pregnancy before I realized it wasn’t recommended. Baby is now a perfectly healthy 2 year old. As others have said, it takes more than what’s in one cup to do any real harm.

Answer

No, things like that need significant quantities to affect you. A cup or two isn't an issue.
