Pregnancy is a special time. But wouldn't it be nice if there is something to make childbirth a little easier? Expecting Mom is a caffeine-free herbal and floral tea infusion containing:

• Raspberry leaf (Rubus Idaeus) - known to tone the uterus, it can ease morning sickness and assist childbirth.
• Nettle (Urtica Dioica) - known as a digestive aid and hair replenisher, it may also ease leg cramps and backache.
• Rose buds (Rosa) - a vitamin C-rich relaxant
• Rosehips (Rosa Canina) - known as a rich source of vitamin C, this herb may help you to keep the sniffles at bay.
• Ginger (Zingiber Officinalis) - a superb remedy for nausea used for centuries in Chinese medicine. It may help constipation during pregnancy.
• Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) a popular herbal drink known to relieve bad breath motion sickness and tummy upset.

Mums and Dads, please note:

Seek medical advice if you have concerns about taking a raspberry leaf infusion or are unsure whether any of the herbs will react with your physical condition or medication.

Our herbalist says: All trimesters are fine. It is an excellent choice for the first trimester and throughout the entire pregnancy. I would use it as a beverage, and to help pregnant moms deal with minor discomforts. This and all teas I would limit to 1-2 cups per day, but it is okay to drink a little more.
