Hi Leeann. I would not recommend that you not take those herbal medication especially since you do not know the content of it. With herbal or natural medication, one has to be very careful. If not taken properly, it may be cause dangerous effects. Some herbs that are known to safe in pregnancy are red raspberry leaf, peppermint leaf, and ginger root. I hope I have answered your question. Please let me know if you have any further concerns.
