A member asked:
Is it safe to drink ballerina tea at 34 weeks preg? contains senna and can cause extra bowel movements. will it harm baby or cause labor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Would avoid: Ballerina tea is promoted as a diet herbal tea. Senna is a laxative and the tea is not intended for use during pregnancy.
