A member asked:
Is valerian and hops safe during pregnancy?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Pregnancy & herbals: There is no real way to know the answer to that. Safety studies cannot be done on pregnant women therefore the typical answer is to avoid those types of products while pregnant.

Valerian & Hops: There are some rat studies showing no fetal teratogenicity when given 65 times the dose humans typically use, but no similar human studies. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17611059 valerian is one of the most frequently used herbs in pregnancy, & one study of intoxication with it during pregnancy revealed no teratogenicity. http://tinyurl.com/koq5m2l still best to desist from it & hops.
