Does anyone know if it is safe to use peppermint (such as Heather's capsules) when trying to conceieve or pregnant?

It's fine in moderation. Too much peppermint can raise your risk of miscarriage (as it relaxes the uterine muscles as well as the GI ones), but I think you'd have to be drinking gallons to get it to this.

Have you read the pregnancy & IBS post? It's soon to be in a newsletter.

Thanks Linz for the reply & the link. I wondered if the info might be here already but I guess I didn't look hard enough!

Heather's been too busy to get the pg info into a newsletter and on a sticky post so I'm just directing people to it atm.

Are you TTC atm?
