Fentimans

[gemfish]

Hi All,

I've brought a load of Fentimans non-alcoholic drinks (ginger beer / lemonade / orange / rose lemonade etc), but I'm a little concerned now that I've read the ingredients - it's got yarrow, speedwell and a bit more worrying juniper - also the rose lemonade has rose oil - are these no-no drinks because of this? I'm in my 19th week.

Cheers

I don't think there is a high enough concentration of those ingredients in them to cause concern, so long as you're not drinking 20 a day you'll be fine. Enjoy them, they're tasty

if it doesn't have a warning on it saying don't drink if you are pregnant then it should be fine.

About the only bloody thing those twee little pregnant lady symbols are any use for.

I would say it's OK, surely... just don't drink too many all in one go? Though I am not at all medically trained... so maybe call the Fentimans helpline or customer care number... they will be able to tell you I'm sure, or ask your midwife? It's always so tricky!!!
