The other reason I wouldn't suggest taking peppermint while you're pregnant is because it can trigger heartburn and indigestion. Even if you didn't suffer from it during your first pregnancy, the peppermint could trigger it for you in your second. I tried them before I was pregnant, and they gave me such bad indigestion, I had to go on a prescription to get rid of it! So there's no way I'd touch them while pregnant.
