Herbal tea--yay or nay?

Question

I've recently read that herbal tea should be avoided during pregnancy because enough studies haven't been done to test the affects in early pregnancy. 
I haven't seen my OB/GYN yet so I'm just curious if others have heard anything. I can't imagine it's harmful but just wanted to check with other Mums.

Answer

Just do your research on the exact herbs. Parsley is very dangerous when ingested as a tea when pregnant. I've been rotating mint, and camomile teas to avoid drinking too much at once.

Answer

Herbal tea is too wide a range to just lump in all together. Some of it is safe and some of it I wouldn't drink ever. It's up to you to do your research.

Answer

I haven't taken any chances. If it says different studies show different results or people are "unsure", I avoid it. No caffeine, no tea (even herbal), no deli meat, no soft cheeses, do artificial sweeteners, no hot dogs, no red meat, and no tuna or raw fish. I don't know want to take any risks....I'll survive without those things for a while.
