Fiona,

In my reference book "Herbal Medecines - A guide for health-care professionnals" by Newall, Anderson and Phillipson, I found: 

"Fenugreek is reputed to be oxytocic and in-vitro uterine stimulant activity has been documented. In view of this, and the documented pharmacologically active components, the use of fenugreek during pregnancy and lactation in doses greatly exceeding those normally encoutered in foods is not advisable."

Hope this will be usefull.
