What to know or do
Bring the exact label, ingredients, preparation method or situation for “Herbal or 'natural' remedy” when asking for advice. Ask what the medicine treats, what happens without it, what pregnancy evidence exists and whether dose or monitoring changes.
What changes the answer
- The exact active ingredient, strength, dose, route and formulation
- Why you use it, how often, and the pregnancy week or exposure date
- Other prescriptions, non-prescription products, supplements and health conditions

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
