Sleepytime tea and Chamomile tea?

I was just wondering if sleepytime tea and Chamomile tea was safe during the third trimester. I used to drink them both before i got pregnant to help me sleep and was thinking of trying it while pregnant to see if it would do the same so maybe i could get some sleep. Any of you know if its ok. I've been trying to find out from other sites but its pointless. I read that they can cause miscarriages and I also read they can cause contractions. Any help?

I'm in 2nd trimester and my doctor just told me that not every night but every once in a while I could take a benadryl or Tylenol pm if I can't sleep.   ask your doctor if that's ok in your case. It works btw. I take it maybe once a week  especially if I've been up past 2am a few nights in a row...

I drank sleepy time tea my last trimester, my doctor said it was ok. Just not every night, only once or twice a week.

I would just do a warm peppermint tea or something like that to relax you. Like a non caffeine one. I wouldn't risk it.

I was told chamomile caused my miscarriage in feb. I had the flu during my first trimester and drank tea with it in there and I lost the baby. Idk if thats what really caused it or if the doctor was assuming. Just be careful with it and when in doubt always ask a doctor
