According to Dr. Andrew Weil, it is safe for pregnant women to drink 2-3 cups per day, though later in the pregnancy it can cause or worsen heartburn.

A second opinion from drugdigest.org suggests that too much pepperment can induce a menstrual cycle...so they do not recommend it during pregnancy.

From my experience, pepermint tea was my saving grace during my first trimester. I would have extreme nausea without vomiting but I was glad I had it growing in my garden.

DangersCertain herbal teas can cause miscarriage, premature delivery or uterine contractions. Rosemary tea is one herbal tea you should avoid even as you are approaching your due date. According to Drugs.com, rosemary, as an herbal supplement, is a known emmenagogue and abortifacient. An emmenagogue stimulates blood flow to your uterus. An abortifacient causes abortion, or termination of pregnancy. The American Pregnancy Association notes that rosemary in topical form is also unsafe during pregnancy

Can you drink extract?

I would strongly, strongly recommend NOT drinking peppermint extract, doing so for health purposes could be DANGEROUS. Large Internal Doses such as drinking peppermint extract could cause severe kidney damage, irregluar heartbeats, miscarriages in pregnant women. Peppermint extract is a diluted version of the peppermint oil which is 100% oil and the most prodominate active ingredient is menthol. CAUTION: Pure Peppermint should not be ingested and Pure Menthol can be FATAL in as small a dose as 1 tsp. You can use drops of peppermint extract (and even the peppermint oil in a smaller amount) to freshen your breath or add to water or tea. It is used in cooking baked goods, desserts, candy, in dietary supplements.
