Pregnancy & Kombucha

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I have FINALLY received my scoby after waiting for it for a month, and

my first brew is forming well in the kitchen. I have also found out

this week that I am pregnant, which is great news, but now I am not

knowing what to do, whether to start (with a teaspoon a day, and very

slowly build up to maybe an ounce or two a day), or to leave it all

together. I read a lot of words of caution, but my main question is;

Would the women in Russia, Germany and Asia also stop drinking

Kombucha throughout pregnancy & breastfeeding or would they continue?

I would think the health benefits of Kombucha outweigh the possible

risk. Ans what would be the risk exactly? That Kombucha might be to

heavy on developing organs of a fetus is not a given fact, but a

speculation. My first two children were born big and strong, and I

have had no complications throughout pregnancy or labor. I am now 34

years.

I am open to all ideas, and would like to know womens experiences

while being pregnant.

Thank you for your time,

Jiska
