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.

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.
