Why can't use rosemary?

Why chemotype verbonone and chemotype camphor should be avoided with small children and during pregnancy due to their high ketone content?
Why can't use rosemary?
I don't know the exact reason rosemary should not be used in pregnancy but it is contraindicated until further research is done. It can cause urethra irritation, nausea, vomitting, confusion, loss of appetite and is toxic to the liver in high doses. Of course its use in regular cooking is OK. The caution only applies to supplements.
Reply:I've never heard that! We grow rosemary and use it on our food when we cook.
Reply:There is a risk of it causing premature labour/miscarriage in pregnancy..
Reply:Give an OB/GYN's office a call %26amp; ask one of the nurses. THEY should have the answer for you!
