  1. Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database rates Motherwort as "Likely Unsafe" during pregnancy.  

    http://www.naturaldatabase.com/nd/Search...

    It's rating is:  "Likely unsafe when used orally because it might have uterine-stimulating effects."

    Here's Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database's definition of "likely unsafe":  

    LIKELY UNSAFE:

    This product has a very high level of reliable clinical evidence showing safety concerns or significant adverse outcomes. People should be discouraged from taking products with a "Likely Unsafe" rating.

    I hope this helps.


  2. I wouldn't chance it unless your ob/gyn okays it
