Pregnancy is an eye-opening journey. One moment, you might be laughing heartily at someone’s jokes; the next moment might bring tears to your eyes. Couple that with queasiness, heartburn, anxiety (just to name a few!), you feel like a ticking time bomb!
Food can make one happy – that’s something I believe. Mums-to-be can also take heart by enjoying a nice cuppa to beat those pregnancy-related blues! During my first trimester, the all-day morning sickness really got on my nerves! If you’ve read my earlier article, you’d know what I mean.
Cast your worries aside – Earth Mama Angel Baby Organics Mama-to-be Tea Sampler ($11.90) to the rescue! This convenient suite packs 4 delicious varieties of 100% organic caffeine-free herbal teas, specially put together for expectant mums.
– Morning Wellness Tea: Helps tackle nausea with its ginger-minty flavour. Have it hot for a comforting drink anytime of the day.
– Heartburn Tea: Delicious and soothing to ease that fierce furnace at your chest area and belly. This Chamomile, Lemon Balm and Red Raspberry blend helps to relax and make things that much better.
– Peaceful Mama Tea: When the anxiety levels go into overdrive, calm down with this delectable natural herbal mix and *ohm* to tranquility.
– Third Trimester Tea: Great for the final leg of the race, sip this special blend to help mama ease up to get ready for the arrival of your little bundle of joy.
Packed tea bags for easy usage.
At times within a day, dips in energy levels hit me and I desperately need quick perk-me-ups (lucky you if your employer allows a quick shut-eye!). Drinking tea and coffee is a norm for me, even during pre-pregnancy days. Miss those mornings when my previous companies had an aunty who helps to brew freshly-made kopi. Other times, dunking a tea bag is so easy, and going for green tea, black tea or even bubble tea (my fave hot weather saviour!!) makes my day. Because of caffeine, I have cut down on coffee and tea, limiting to probably just a cup or 2 per week, from my usual daily morning coffee. For me, it’s a “wake me up” in the morning but for some friends, they swear by coffee, perhaps more than a cup each day. When they got pregnant, it was a terrible swarm of fatigue for them to stop totally. Known as a diuretic and for causing dehydration, caffeine is also rumoured to increase the risk of miscarriage, contribute to heartburn due to stimulation of stomach acid, lead to insomnia due to increased heart rate, and (horror of horrors!) they contain compounds called phenols that make it harder for our body to absorb iron. Arghhh!! Thank goodness, I’ve already been cutting down on caffeine. Gosh!
Here’s how I like savouring my mama-to-be teas:
Bottom L-R: Morning Wellness Tea goes great with Pepperidge Farm Gingerman cookies if you like yours slightly sweet. No need to add extra sugar! Heartburn Tea’s herbal flavour is good on its own, for that extra warmth inside.
*Teas are preferably enjoyed without sugar or milk, although it’s entirely a personal choice to add them :)
Earth Mama Angel Baby has each tea in individual boxes of 16 tea bags ($11.90/box) to enjoy too!

For times when the milk of momness needs a little encourgement, there’s Earth Mama Angel Baby, Organic Milkmaid Tea, Fragrant Fennel Herb ($11.90). Fennel herb is known to help increase breast milk supply for breastfeeding mamas. Infused with herbs such as galactagogues are fenugreek, milk thistle seed, anise seed and caraway seed. Blended with mineral-packed nettle and red raspberry leaf’s powerful vitamin-mineral combo, they help keep breast milk flowing from healthy mama to healthy baby.
