: I am curious if anyone uses and herbs during their pregnancy? Any special teas or anything? Just curious.
Hey Ashley, my sister is pregnant also and she was getting upset because the baby was moving so much, she couldn't sleep for 2 weeks. So she decided to take some herbal (homeopatic) pills to sleep better. They were a 100% herbal, none the less, she started taking them and the baby would stop moving for hours. Ofcourse the baby was getting the herbs through the placenta and falling asleep. But my sister is not very clever and we had to have a go at her and ask her to stop being so stupid and stop taking those things. She tought there was nothing wrong with it. I had a web site and now I can't find it, but it listed all the herbs and teas that are dangerous during pregnancy, basically the only thing that was safe was camomile tea and a few other teas - everything else had some type of side effect on the baby. I will look for it again and post it when I find it. I couldn't believe so many teas we drink everyday might be dangerous! sally 2
