Is this safe in late pregnancy?

I know some teas and herbs are best avoided during late pregnancy because of the risk of uterine contractions so I was wondering if any of you knew if these herbs were safe. This is a tea that I'd like to try but not sure if it is safe. I'm 38 weeks pregnant and dilated to a 2. (Just for info)








ORGANIC PASSIONFLOWER HERB: 360 mg.


ORGANIC CHAMOMILE FLOWER: 255 mg.


(I READ CHAMOMILE COULD POSSIBLY BRING ON MENSTRUATION..?)


ORGANIC LINDEN FLOWER: 135 mg.


ORGANIC CATNIP HERB: 45 mg.


ORGANIC HOP STROBILE: 30 mg.


ORGANIC SPEARMINT LEAF


ORGANIC LEMON VERBENA LEAF


ORGANIC LEMON PEEL


ORGANIC WEST INDIAN LEMONGRASS LEAF





That is what the tea consists of..do you see any red flags or am I ok to frink this for relaxation? Thank you.

Is this safe in late pregnancy?
Absolutely not!!!! Herbs are drugs just as powerful and dangerous as drugs sold over the counter or by prescription!!! Especially when taken during pregnancy! Please, please ask your doctor about it. And why not just let nature take it's course? You are already 2cm, labour will soon start anyways. Best wishes, and congradulations to you and your family!
Reply:I'd skip all of those and drink red rasbarry leaf tea(for uterus widwife's tell you to drink it near then end of pregnancy) and fenugreek(to help with milk flow).
Reply:as far as i know these are all safe but if in doubt talk to your doctor...
Reply:you already have a kid. didn't you already go through this before why are you asking?
