1st Trimester

potentially dangerous herbs I accidentally took without thinking

Hi Everyone, I am in my 5th week and without realizing I took some herbal pills 'Bupleurum Calmative Compound' before bed as I would on occassion to help me fall into a deep sleep. I realized this morning that this was probably not a good idea and checked the bottle and it says don't use if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. I looked up each individual herb and two of them were particularly bad for pregnant women - Don Quai and Bai-Zhu Rhizome and this one the worst - Chinese Peony Root  - it said something about abortions.  

Obviously I will not take these again, but I am nervous now that I have. Anyone have experience or knowledge that will help with my peace of mind?

 Thanks so much.
