Hi all,

My wife is pregnant with number 2. During her last pregnancy, she had lots of nausea, and found that tonic water relieved it.

Her nausea has started even earlier this time but since then she has heard that quinine (which is found in tonic water) can cause problems to the developing baby.

I'm a nurse, and the info we have on quinine suggests that this is true, but the only info I have is on full-strength quinine tablets for malaria, as opposed to the little bits you get in tonic water.

Anyone here have any experience with using tonic water to relieve nausea, or have any literature or information regarding it?
