Is Celestial Seasonings brand Sleepytime tea safe to drink in the first trimester?

I have been researching the same question. Here is what I have found: celestial seasonings use an amount and type of herbs that are considered generally safe for consumption in moderation by most people. As for the individual ingredients in Sleepytime, it appears that Chamomile, lemongrass, and hawthorn berries should be avoided during pregnancy. Tila flowers, blackberry leaves, orange blossoms, and rosebuds do not appear to have any warnings associated with them. I have been researching this whole herb tea while pregnant issue and it is all quite confusing, from what I have read I am doing the following while pregnant: avoiding tea with caffeine, only drinking commercially produced teas, trying to avoid straight camomile teas, and not drinking any one tea on a regular basis. I have also learned that chicory and ginsing (among a myriad of others) can be problematic and that, according to one cite, only the following herbs are considered absolutely safe during pregnancy: lemon balm orange peel rosehips citrus peel ginger It also appears that most 'pregnancy teas' are no safer than normal teas.

How many times does a pregnant woman vomit in the first trimester?

Is it normal to spot very little along with having terrible cramps and lower back pains in your 2nd trimester?

Hi, I understand your concern with the spotting and lower back cramps/pain that you're experiencing. I want to assure you though that these types of symptons are perfectly normal for many woman. I have had four children and experienced both spotting and the cramping with all 4 of my pregnancies. Your body is going through so many changes right now. The spotting you're experiencing is probably due to the egg implanting itself firmly on the uterene wall. This will also cause back pain and/or what you describe as cramping. I've also experienced 2 miscarriages. I never had cramping with them, but, bled very bright red blood. So, as long as the spotting your having is not bright red in color, everything shoud be just fine. Worry isn't good for expectant mothers so relax and just let nature take it's course - You may find some other helpful information that will ease your mind on the following two websites, www.webmd.com & www.sofeminine.co.uk! Good Luck and God Bless! Warmly, Kimberly

When you are pregnant is it normal to have a slight cramping for 15-30 seconds after urinating?

Cramping after urinating isn't a symptom of pregnancy, that I'm aware of. But is is a strong sign that you could have a UTI (Bladder infection). Go see your doctor to get checked for that. Antibiotics will take care if it if you do have a UTI. Yes, I'm pregnant and positive that I don't have a bladder infection and I have the same thing. Pretty much everything hurts when your pregnant.

What birth defects can Xanax cause?

I took Xanax during my pregnancy with my first child. He has been late on every milestone, and is now almost 3 years old and still not talking, not saying any words at all, and he has never mimicked anything like other babies do.

I do not know for sure that this is a birth defect caused by Xanax, but there is no other reason he would be having these issues.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Birth defects are actual things that are wrong with the body, not lack of keeping up developmentally with other children.
