I'd keep taheebo tea, acidophilus, la pacho tea, Echinacea and castor oil outta my diet if I were pregnant. But of course if I had any doubts I would ask my doctor!

Acidohyllus is normally produced in our body in the vaginal area, so taking additional would not be a problem. Echinacea is definitely something I think you need to consult with your OB. That is an herb that has come under a lot of scrutiny lately by the FDA because of it's bad interactions with other medications you may take and definitely would cause a problem during delivery. When you are pregnant, all medications and HERBS that you have taken in the past or are taking now, should be discussed with your doctor. While they may have caused you no harm when you weren't carrying a baby, this child might suffer from birth anomalies because of them.

Everything sounds ok except the caster oil. That can induce labor and you don't want that. I would not consume a real lot of tea, but some is ok. It is a great detoxifier, but if it has caffiene or alot of sugar or sweetener you don't want to over do it. Good Luck.

The only one I would have a concern with is the Luaric Acid Mycocidin. Everything else sounds natural just lay off that until you have the baby.

Castor oil may induce an early delivery in the 9th month , be careful.

Here is what I know for sure:
acidophilus (as in what is in yogurt) is OK.
cottage cheese is OK.
castor oil is NOT OK.
Sorry I don't know about the rest.
