@drchristian.md: ☕ Pregnancy tea trend check: Many "detox" and "weight loss" teas contain herbs like senna, cascara, and licorice root that can cause uterine contractions, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances—especially dangerous in pregnancy. Weight gain during pregnancy isn't optional; it's physiology. Your body needs 25-35 lbs (or more if you started underweight) to support placental development, amniotic fluid, and fetal growth. If body image anxiety is real for you (and it IS for so many of you), let's talk about that—but with your OB, not with internet tea. You deserve support that doesn't put your baby at risk. 💙
