If you are willing to mix it yourself...

3 oz hibiscus
3 oz rosehips
2 oz red raspberry leaf
2 oz chamomile
1 oz lemon grass
1 oz nettles

Will probably make enough for several months. High in vitamin C and
IMO it tastes great.

My friend swears by elderflower tea for the stomach discomforts of
pregnancy. She sent me some elderflower-strawberry-rosehip tea, and I
*adore* it.

I'm also drinking a lot of lemon tea and a lot of peppermint tea.

I've been drinking a lot of Rooibos and Honeybush... yummy! They come in
chai varieties and taste really good to me. They are african "red tea"
varieties and naturally caffeine free. I found them a couple years ago but
they just hit mainstream (i.e. celestial seasonings and stash) in a big way.
The Madagascar Red Vanilla, Peach Apricot Honeybush and Safari Spice are
*yummy*.

If you're looking for medicinal teas, red raspberry leaf is "the"
traditional herbal for pregnancy.

Red Raspberry leaf tea. I like pregnancy tea from Traditional Medicinal.
Lemon is yummy, too. I have a chammomile orange that tastes good.
