It’s the raspberry leaf part that as mentioned above can affect your cervix. They say it can be drunk after 32 weeks but only in small quantities (1 small cup a day) and gradually build it up over the following weeks up to 3cups a day at 37/8 weeks

This is what's making me nervous. I started drinking it yesterday as it's the only thing that I can keep down that helps my severe morning sickness but then I read about hibiscus 😫 I think I'm best just avoiding it and trying to find something else I can drink. Any one suffered with hyperemesis gravidarum that have any recommendations πŸ’•πŸ™πŸΌ
