In reply to: Brenda: "Ginger and pregnacy?"

Ginger has been used in pregnancy for gastrointestinal complaints in the dose of Goinger root 250mg four times a day.

In an article by Fischer-Rasmussen W, et al. "Ginger treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum". in the Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 1990;38:19-24 - there was NO increase in miscarriages AND 25 patients studied went to term and all infants were normal.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
