ginger tea — Yes during pregnancy
A note from Emily
Emily's honest take
Many authoritative sources, including ACOG and the NHS, suggest that consuming ginger can help alleviate mild to moderate nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It's typically considered safe to drink up to about 4 cups (950 ml) of ginger tea daily, or tea made from around 1 gram (1,000 mg) of ginger, which is roughly 1 teaspoon of grated ginger root. However, it's advised to avoid consuming ginger tea close to your due date, as some evidence suggests it *may* increase the risk of bleeding.

Always check with your OB for personalized advice, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications, as ginger can have mild blood-thinning effects and possible interactions with some medicines.
