The correct answer is: Stop taking the herb

Pregnant clients should avoid taking the herb feverfew for migraine headaches as it can potentially induce uterine contractions and increase the risk of miscarriage.

Consulting a healthcare provider before making any decisions regarding herbal supplements is always recommended to ensure the well-being of both the pregnant client and the unborn child.
