st johns wort

[samanthajayne]

does anyone know if this is safe to take during pregnancy. i keep forgetting to ask the midwife. i used to take it all the time to stop my moods and feeling low when due my period and to stop me wanting to kill my bf hehe but since being pregnant my moods have improved a lot but there are still the odd days where i feel really low or really moody and know i could feel better with some st johns wort.

I don't think it is. Does it say anything on the bottle?

no, it isn't. It can cause contractions, but obviously I don't know in what dosage.

Definitely check........

wow sounds scary i'll definantly have to check up on that then thanks. can't remember what it said on the bottle something like it shouldn't be taken without consulting a doctor first etc
