Attention Herbalists:

I need your help!

I've received a question from a mom who has just discovered she's pregnant
and has been taking the following herbals.  She doesn't wish to d/c them,
as instructed by her MD.  Can anyone tell me about the safety of the
following herbals:

Ginkgo biloba
Bilberry extract
Fennel Seed
Ginger Root
Chamomile


My herbal knowledge is pretty limited but I'm thinking they are all safe
for pregnancy and lactation.  I have heard that ginger can "tone" the
uterus-is that a concern in early pregnancy (miscarriage or preterm labor)?
 Any good references for using herbals in pregnancy and lactation?
