I have a cold and want to drink hot tea. what kind of tea can i drink without hurting my baby?

Not a problem: A refreshing mixture for dealing with a cold is the kind of tea called "throat coat" mixed with honey and a squirt of lemon juice. This will soothe your throat and will not affect the pregnancy. Serious issues with fetal development almost always occur in the first three months if you are beyond that, there is little you could ingest that would have any effect on the fetus.
