Herbs in Pregnancy

I'll be adding articles and resources for determining if an herb is safe during your pregnancy as well as information on which herbs can be most helpful. There is a contraversy over Red Raspberry Leaf. Apparently, the US custom regarding this herb is in conflict with what is done in the UK. Master herbalists here in the US recommend continued use of RRL throughout pregnancy while UK herbalists insist that it is safe only in the last trimester.

I drank RRL tea daily throughout both my pregnancies and had 2 viIrtually bloodless births, which is said to be one benefit of drinking this herb tea. I have read that those with high risk pregnancies may want to avoid use as it does work its magic by toning the uterus.
