I have really bad morning sickness; only that I get it in the evening so I guess that'd be 'evening sickness'? It is so bad that my doctor prescribed me Phenergan (Promethazine) and I hate taking it. I try to go as long as I can without taking it, but I can't keep anything I eat down that I have to take it. It's a Class C drug; if the benefit outweighs the risk, it should be safe to take. There is not enough research done on pregnant women to determine if it's safe, but for the most part, I believe it's safe.
So anyway, I read a few things about this tea and thought I'd give it a shot. It's an all natural, baby-safe herbal tea to support a healthy pregnancy, tone the uterus, and relieve morning sickness discomfort. It's a loose-leaf tea so I use a tea ball infuser but you can just directly put it in. I bought just one bag which is a one month supply for $14.95 on their website: Fairhaven Health.

I've started drinking it in the mornings and evenings. It tends to help a bit but my morning sickness isn't completely gone. I've been taking the Phenegan less.

Since I've started the tea and feeling a little better, I made steam rolls for dinner. I've been craving this for a while; I just knew it wasn't going to sit well.
I think that's a lot for one day.
G O O D N I G H T !
Those shoes are so cute and a great price! I LOOOOVVVE steam rolls. One of my all time favorite foods. You should do a tutorial on how to make them so I can learn =)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Steam rolls are pretty easy to make. The hardest part is steaming the wrap. I can definitely do a tutorial on it :)
DeleteXOXO T
first of all congratulations on your pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling I'm behind on some things here XD
good luck with the tea! :)
and those steam rolls look yummy :)
I wanted to try the alba botanica moisturizer and toner
so let us know how they work out for you! :p
Thanks Peiji! So far the tea works great, I'm feeling much better.
DeleteThe Alba Botanica is a little too strong for my skin. After a couple days of using it, my face was so sensitive and burning. My face was red, I don't know if my skin is just too sensitive or I'd it was a small allergic reaction to it but I stopped using it. If you have sensitive skin, you probably might not want to use it..
i got some shoes online that looks like yours for $20. i would have just taken the $9 pair. anyway, hobbie is too cute and lux does the same.
ReplyDeleteand how do you make your steam rolls a little thicker? my mom and i went thru a few packs of the powder cause it was way to sticky/soft/crusty lol
Hi Pk! I guess it depends on what brand you use for the steam rolls. I use to go through a pack before I can get it right, but I switched to a different brand. I use the green bag that says Banh Cuon on the front with a picture of four steam rolls in the front. It says to use 4 cups of water but I use 4.5 cups. I like it a little thinner. And you just add a little oil. And I also don't grease the pan because I added that little bit of oil to the mixture.
DeleteCongrats on the pregnancy Terri. I just saw you not too long ago and you don't even seem like you were preggos. How far along are you? Keep us updated.
ReplyDeletelol, thanks Kia. I know, I just didn't say anything at the time, but I'm 3.5 months.
