What are some good herbal vit C sources for pregnancy and lactation? I know you can’t have pine. I have heard different things about rose hips. I typically use acerola cherry powder, but don’t know if that is actually safe or not.

Rose hips are safe. Other than that, I’d use food sources like greens and citrus.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

Is the acerola cherry powder I mentioned safe? Or would that be too concentrated to take a lot of?

The jury is still out on that and I don’t have enough information (and there isn’t enough research) for me to have an opinion yet. There are lots of good vitamin C sources in fruits and greens though.
