My Pregnancy and the Use of Herbs

I have always loved drinking herbal tea. But I always look up the herbs involved in making the tea while I am pregnant or breastfeeding as a precautionary measure. I don't want to cause any harm to my baby. I have found a pretty good website that sums up what I was looking for and want to share my findings here. Here is the website... http://www.selfessentials.net/essentialoilsafety.html

Pregnant

I am pregnant in my 3rd trimester now. The new baby is due April 9th, 2008. I am excited to have another baby...possibly another girl from what the ultrasound tech said. If the baby is a girl she will even out the score a bit :o) I am having a great pregnancy so far, with just a little nausea my first and second trimesters. I am having a few leg cramps now that I am in my 3rd trimester, but this is normal for me. I hope to have a normal, healthy, and safe labor with out having to have an epidural. I have been using Cocoa butter lotion on my belly so that it will minimize stretch marks and doing prenatal yoga for exercise. I have gained roughly 25 pounds so far. My family is excited too!
