Red Clover is not contraindicated during pregnancy. However, it should be used in small amounts, for example in a tea combined with other nourishing herbs such as Alfalfa, Nettle, Dandelion leaf and root, Red Raspberry leaf, Oat straw, Melissa (Lemon balm), Rose hips and Chamomile (Matricaria recutita).
