Do you drink it? I find it very relaxing and couldn't imagine that there would be a problem with that, but have since read conflicting opinions. What do you think?

Anyone found any reliable info on this? I have been drinking lots of chamomile tea during this pregnancy and never even thought twice about it...

a pharmacist that i trust very much, is a pharm.d. and a homeopath. he told me chammomile is fine, just don't overdo it. this goes for any herb during pregnancy, i think. it is more than a drink.

I have seen references to chamomile haveing the potential to cause uterine contractions, especially in the first trimester. I have seen other sources that say it is safe as long as you are not allergic to the ragweed family, and drinking is a a mild tea rather than therapeutic/medicinal doses. I have avoided it to be on the safe side.
