First trimester (weeks 1–12): rest and relaxation
The first trimester of your pregnancy is a time when your body is working hard to develop a placenta and support your pregnancy. Many women experience extreme fatigue, nausea, and hormonal fluctuations. Although it is not always visible, your body is using a lot of energy.
Your ideal tea for the first trimester: Ginger & Chai Spoons
- Ginger Spoon: Known for its soothing effect on the stomach, ginger tea helps reduce nausea during pregnancy and provides a mild energy boost. It also aids digestion and soothes bloating.
- Chai Spoon: The warming spices in Chai Spoon can help relax your body and provide a comforting feeling during the sometimes difficult start of pregnancy.
Enjoy quickly and easily, how do you prepare it?

Rest is crucial during this time. Listen to your body and take extra breaks. Stay hydrated and choose light exercise such as walking to gradually build up your energy.
Second Trimester (Weeks 13–27): Energy and Balance
During the second trimester of your pregnancy (weeks 13 to 27), you often feel fitter and more stable than in the first trimester. This is the period in which your baby grows quickly and your body is developing. It is therefore extra important to eat well and nutritiously, hydrate sufficiently and keep your energy levels up.
Your ideal tea for the second trimester: Matcha Spoon
Many pregnant women wonder if matcha is safe during pregnancy. The good news: yes, you can definitely drink matcha while pregnant, but in moderation.
At Spoon Moment, we recommend consuming no more than two Matcha Spoons per day . This way, you can still enjoy the benefits without having to worry about too much caffeine. Matcha contains natural caffeine, and it is important to monitor your total intake. Matcha Spoon is an excellent choice during this stage of your pregnancy. Matcha helps you stay clear-headed and focused, while also relaxing you.
