Stay Away

Ladies, please stay away from herbal products when you are pregnant or could be pregnant. They have not been studied in pregnancy and their safety during this time is not known.

Also, nettle contains vitamin a, too much of which can cause birth defects.

I wouldn't take any herbals without getting the okay from your obstetrician. Better to be safe than sorry.
