Peppermint is a smooth muscle relaxer and can cause the muscles of your uterus to relax and can cause a miscarriage. I've not ever really seen this well documented but I was told not to take it while pregnant also! I doubt that an occasional cup of peppermint tea now and than would hurt anything but since I've already suffered three miscarraiges, I'm not willing to chance it!
