herbal chamomile tea is harmful???

Question

So I drink one 8oz warm cup of chamomile tea almost every night. It's basically part of my nightly routine and even my husband has fallen into the routine and drinks a cup with me. I just recently read a thing on the World Wide Web saying herbal teas are bad, chamomile is harmful to your unborn baby and can cause birth defects. My question is Did you drink chamomile tea while pregnant and have a perfectly healthy baby? Or are you pregnant and still drinking chamomile tea?

Answer

I would ask your OB. relying on other peoples experiences seems negligent. Every pregnancy is different.

Answer

Lol not everything you read on the internet is true!!! Women have been drinking chamomile tea for thousands of years and everything is fine!

Answer

my ob said its fine aslong as it caffeine free :) had the same doubt and i ask her and she said aslong at its caffeine free no prb

Answer

I hope it's not. I drank when I had a bad cold a couple months ago. I'm almost 30 weeks now and baby is fine

Answer

Sounds highly stupid that chamomile tea would cause birth defects...

Answer

I use it. My doctor said as long as I don't have an allergic reaction to it, I am fine. I use pregnancy tea more often, though. I also make sure to use traditional medicines or celestial seasonings. I even use chamomile (roman) and Valerian tincture in hot water. I had made this a while back to help migraines.

Answer

Some herbal teas are dangerous. Most are not. My Dr said chamomile is fine.
