According to Medical Health Guide, while Sambong has been found to have vast benefits for our health, little research has been done regarding its effects to pregnant and breastfeeding women. So as suggested in the page, better avoid and stay on the safe side. :) Meanwhile, Lagundi may be used as a moderate medication. However, usage must not be for over a week.

Herbal medicines should be safe, but then again, when it comes to pregnancy, it's still best to consult a doctor; every woman's bodies are different. What works for one may not for another.
