TCM during Pregnancy

I have been consuming tcm meds daily for 3 months when trying to conceive and i found out i was pregnant, at 4W6D today. Went back to my TCM and she prescribed tcm meds (for my constipation & 安胎药) for a week and was told to return next week. Wanted to ask other mummies here, should I continue with the TCM or stop soon? Not sure if it's safe but my practitioner seems experienced. I'm just worried and maybe paranoid. The meds she gave me are solutions made from powder so I'm not sure what herbs were used too.

I continued my TCM medicine after pregnant. Initially was quite concerned if shld continue but now I’m in wk 18 and still drinks. Drink two days and rest two days- mine is the boil yourself type and also dunno the content. Think need to trust ur doc if u want to continue. During my worst nauseous period , I also vomit after drinking e medicine. But another trick I think is to make sure the food is digest before drinking the medicine cos our digestive system slows down that period plus e bitter medicine sight n smell will makes u vomit after drink. That’s my experience. Hope all well for you :)
