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.

How to enjoy the Matcha Spoon

• Hot drink:
  Stir the Matcha Spoon into 150–200 ml of hot water. For a smooth, creamy taste, add a splash of warm, frothed milk of your choice.

• Iced mango matcha:
  A summer favorite! Fresh, cold matcha combined with mango for a delicious energy boost. Plus extra vitamins for baby!

Third Trimester (Weeks 28–40): Relaxation and Preparation for Childbirth

The third trimester of your pregnancy (weeks 28 to 40) is an intense period in which your body becomes increasingly heavy and sleeping can become more difficult. Extra rest and relaxation are essential to reduce stress and prepare your body for childbirth.

Your Ideal Tea for the Third Trimester: Chai & Curcuma Spoons

• Chai Spoon: This warming tea is packed with spices like cinnamon, cardamom and cloves that help you relax and calm your mind. Chai Spoon helps you calm down during this busy phase.

• Turmeric Spoon: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric helps support recovery and overall well-being. Turmeric Spoon can help soothe discomfort and support your body during the final weeks of your pregnancy.

How to get the most out of your Chai and Curcuma Spoons

• Chai latte : Dissolve the Chai Spoon in 20 ml of warm water and top up with heated milk (such as oat, almond or cow's milk). For extra warmth, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg, but the spoon itself is already rich in spices and perfectly balanced.
• Curcuma latte: Dissolve the Curcuma Spoon in 20 ml of warm water and top up with your favourite warm milk. The golden glow of this spoon is not only soothing, but also supports your well-being thanks to the powerful mix of spices.

Best times to drink:
