Ricola Swiss Herb Candy

Posted by bbvv (396 days ago)

I'm 7 wks pregnant and at the moment have a sore throat and a dry cough. I ate one of those Ricola Swiss Herb Candy which soothes my throat and at the same time this eased some of my queasiness. The candy contains 13 Swiss mountain herbs and I do not know whether or not it is safe to eat these? I never suffered any morning sickness with my 1st one but this time round, I feel sick with certain smells and food.

I wouldn't worry about it - it's more candy than anything else. I've eaten them throughout all three pregnancies - as I teach and would sometimes get a sore throat towards the end of the day.

My first pregnancy was so easy - I thought pregnancy was a piece of cake. The second one I puked my guts out constantly - (incidentally - I had girls both times - so the theory that different pregnancies yield different genders goes ou the window.)

Thanks, hkchoichoi that's reassuring to know. My first is a son so let's see what gender I get this time round. It will be my last too regardless of which sex so long as the baby is healthy.

slightly paranoid about meds during pregnancy so when i am feeling under the weather, i drink lots of hot honey and lemon drink.
