Q. I love herbal tea, but I read on a website it may not be okay to drink during pregnancy. They especially adviced to stay away from Chmomile, but I personally don't see any harm in it? Am I wrong?
A. When it comes to herbal teas you do have to be careful because some herbs are used for home abortions and to induce labour � herbs such as raspberry leaf, dong quai, blue cohosh and rue (natural oestrogenic and uterine contracting herbs).
As such depending on how far along you are some herbs may cause problems, although I doubt this is something you have to worry about particularly if you are not using these herbs for those purposes, but I would still say to play it safe with herbs � do not drink anything unless you know it is okay to do so, people think herbs are harmless but just because they are natural does not make it so.
There is a good guide for you here - http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/pregnancy_herbs.html
Camomile tea specifically, it is generally regarded as safe as per FDA say-so, although it can be used as a mild emmenagogue (stimulates menstruation by softening cervix) in herbal teas in the form of your bog standard tea bags the effects are too small to mention � it is only if you were making tea from the herb itself or in strong doses then it would be considered an emmenagogue that could theoretically be a minor issue to take into consideration with early or late stages of pregnancy.
Despite not being a professional I'd personally say it is safe, its calming affects are very beneficial during pregnancy, and the emmenagogue effects are minimal so not enough to cause problems, probably putting it along the same lines as parsley tea so considered safe during pregnancy, and certainly better than drinking normal black tea.
In simple terms � chamomile tea good, any other herb be careful!

Why does a woman not have a period during the term of her pregnacy?
Q. I'm studying about reproductive system in science and I got a question why woman does not have period during pregnancy. I just wonder why, anyone please help me out. Thanks a lot~~~
A. Menstruation is the lining of the uterus (Endometrium) shedding because the egg that dropped during ovulation was not fertilized. So when the egg it fertilized, the lining turns into the placenta which supports the embryo during pregnancy.

is bloating a possible sign for pregnancy?
Q. so, my girl and i had sex 17 days ago and her menstruation should start soon, but the thing is, that she is feeling bloated after eating even a little. i read, that during pregnancy, women get bloated (BUT does that happen in week 3) and also that before menstruation they get bloated after eating. so, can someone tell me if they get bloated during pregnancy after eating something, or that just happens? btw, she doesnt have morning sicknesses and she doesnt go to the bathroom more often than before.
A. Could be pregnancy, or it could be that her period is coming.
No way of knowing until her period is late. If it is, do a test.

What happens when the sperm reaches the egg during your period?
Q. Would your period slow down or get lighter because you dont usually go on your period during pregnancy...
A. The sperm wouldn't reach the egg during your period because you wouldn't ovulate during your period.
You can get pregnant from sex you have during your period because sperm can live in your body for several days under the right conditions, but you cannot ovulate while you're menstruating. The process of menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining. If you conceived during that time, the egg would have nothing to attach to and it wouldn't implant.
