Pregnant and ginger: the use
Good news! Ginger is safe to use when you are pregnant. It has even been proven that ginger can help combat nausea and vomiting. Ginger can therefore continue to be used in various ways during pregnancy. For instance, you can use it in dishes, ginger tea or as a shot.
Shot against morning sickness
Do you often suffer from nausea in the morning? Then take a G'nger shot before breakfast. It will give you a nice kick and help with those annoying pregnancy pains. You can also keep the ginger shot and spread it throughout the day if you feel nauseous more often. Take, for example, 3 x a 20ml shot.
Ginger tea
Many teas contain caffeine, which, according to the Dutch Nutrition Centre, you can only consume to a certain extent during pregnancy. G'nger contains no caffeine and can therefore be used to make tea.
Ginger lemonade
Do you prefer a cold drink? Then go for ginger lemonade. This is easy to make yourself and can be completely adjusted to your own taste. Put 30 ml of G'nger Pure or Original in a glass, pour in (sparkling) water and add fruit or herbs of your choice. For example, lemon, lime, blueberries, raspberries, mint and/or thyme.
Benefits of ginger when you are pregnant
The use of ginger during pregnancy has several advantages. It helps against pregnancy pains and gives a natural kick without caffeine.
Morning sickness
As described above, ginger helps against the morning sickness that many women experience in the first trimester, or even throughout pregnancy.
Natural kick
Another advantage of ginger during pregnancy is that it provides a natural kick without the need for caffeine. So it's perfect as a replacement if you're used to drinking a lot of caffeinated coffee or tea.
Relieves pain
Ginger can also have an analgesic effect. This means that you don't have to resort to painkillers during pregnancy, but that a nice ginger tea or lemonade can also help.
