Which tea can I drink in each trimester?

We are often asked which of our teas to drink during each stage of pregnancy.

Hopefully the following guide will help...

FIRST TRIMESTER TEA

Our Morning Rescue is great if you are suffering from morning sickness and nausea. It contains anti-inflammatory herbs to soothe your tummy, ease heartburn and indigestion.

If your pregnancy sickness symptoms are really bad, we recommend that you brew a jug of morning rescue in the morning, leave to cool, and store in the fridge to drink chilled throughout the day.

Get Up & Glow is our caffeine free boost. Naturally high in vitamin C and natural sugars, Get Up & Glow is a blend of uplifting fruits - grapes, apple, rosehip and hibiscus. No flavourings or additives in sight!

SECOND TRIMESTER TEA

As you hopefully start to feel better Get Up & Glow can still support a low caffeine diet. Grapes are used as the base of this tea blend. Which means that along with vitamin C, you also get a gentle natural sugar lift. It's the perfect way to replicate caffeine in the healthiest way possible.

THIRD TRIMESTER TEA

From 32 weeks, our The Final Push is the perfect blend of raspberry leaf tea and whole peppermint leaves.

Raspberry leaf is linked to shorter second stage labour, with fewer interventions. Despite popular belief it is unlikely to induce labour if you are overdue.

Raspberry leaf contains a compound called fragarine which activates the uterine muscles and tones them in preparation for birth. We include peppermint to naturally sweeten, and help to ease digestion as you get more full of baby!

FOURTH TRIMESTER TEA

Once your baby arrives, our Milk's Up tea can help to support a healthy milk supply. It contains a blend of organic fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, aniseed, lemon verbena, rosemary and aniseed. All of which have been used for millennia to support breastfeeding mama's. Head Start is the perfect alternative to coffee or black tea, for anyone reintroducing caffeine back into their diet postpartum. The white peony tea is higher in caffeine than a black tea, but lower than coffee. It has c. 90mg of caffeine per cup, but it is also naturally high in theanine which gives the caffeine a slow release effect. So you get a boost of energy without heart palpitations.

The day and nights can blur into one during those early postpartum days. Night Owl is our carefully balanced blend of calming herbs soothe your soul and support sleep, it really is a hug in a mug!
