Hello Susun, my name is Samantha I am about 8 weeks pregnant.
I have been into/using herbs for a long time but in pregnancy I have so many questions about safety. I was given your childbearing year and have been studying it and other sources and so much is conflicting. I started making simple red rasp/nettle/chamomile tea, but then was told that rasp and nettle may make me contract and have a miscarriage. To only use after first tri.
So, in contradiction, the stuff that you are talking about says its fine through the whole pregnancy. I just want a clear answer if you have time to respond to me. I would appreciate it a lot as my hormones and brain have been feeling a little crazy.
-- Blessings, Samantha
Hello Samantha,
When it comes to pregnancy and herbs, you’ll find people erring on the side of extreme caution and in the end, of course, you have to go with what you feel comfortable with…
I can tell you that these herbs are not on Susun’s list of herbs to avoid during pregnancy and she often suggests them for various uses during pregnancy as noted in her article here:

These herbs would be in the form of the nourishing infusions – one of the safest and gentlest ways to include herbal healing and support. And best to avoid herbs in pill form…
blessings,
Kim
