Oops! Drank juiced herbs!!

[ALNaturMom]

Those included were oregano, sage, summer savory, thyme, and basil. I'm 24 weeks along, and on progesterone shots to prevent another preemie. It was a bundle of herbs, so it was a rather high concentration mixed with greens, carrots, and fruits. How worried should I be? How likely will sage and oregano induce labor or bleeding in a high risk pregnancy?

[babylove921]

I've never heard of those herbs causing labor

[ALNaturMom]

So, you know women who have taken them throughout pregnancy without a problem?

[TinaDeanette]

Is juicing different then just eating them? Cuz, I've eaten all those herbs through my pregnancies without problems.

[babylove921]

Yea. I've used all those herbs. Not sure where you heard that it would cause labor or bleeding.

[bigmamakelsey]

Yeah, those are all safe herbs while pregnant.

[ALNaturMom]

They're safe in normal amounts used in recipes, but not as teas, or if consumed in bulk, which I did. :-/ They're emmenagogues, but I can't find any information on the dosage that causes problems, or if they can cause problems after the first trimester.

[babylove921]

Again..where did you hear this?

[paper_girl_76]

hmm, I have never heard of any of these being a problem, but if you are concerned, you should call your dr or mw. He/she would likely know better than any of us.

[ALNaturMom]

Pretty much every site that listed safe and unsafe herbs had sage listed as one to avoid.
