Is Tonic Water Safe During Pregnancy?

QUESTION

Dear Nutritionist,
A friend of my husband suggested tonic water to ease nausea. I know that tonic water contains quinine and was wondering if it is safe or not? I have researched on the internet and have found very little that touches on the subject.

Thanks in advance,
Mary -- 7 weeks
