Can I eat chamomile tea while pregnant?

Mama, while a warm cup of chamomile tea might sound lovely, the information from authoritative guidelines is a bit mixed, so it's best to be cautious. Some sources suggest that occasional, moderate consumption (like 1-2 cups a day) might be acceptable, but many emphasize that there isn't enough scientific research to definitively say it's safe for you and your baby. In fact, some studies have even linked regular or high-dose chamomile to potential concerns like a higher risk of preterm delivery or low birth weight, especially in the third trimester, and there's a theoretical risk of uterine contractions with concentrated forms.
