Are chia seeds safe in pregnancy?

I used to have chia seeds in my smoothie every morning before and now im not sure if I should continue. Im 11 weeks along. Anyone been having them through pregnancy without any issue?

I added a small spoon of soaked chia seeds to my smoothies, they are great for fibre and omega. Just keep the amount small and drink enough water with them. As always I checked with my doctor since I was tracking my diet closely.

My nutrition app suggested chia seeds for fibre and they helped my constipation a lot. Soak them first and start with a little. Moderation is key, dont go overboard yaar.
