My mom keeps suggesting some chinese herbal stuff she swears by for energy but im not sure it's ok now that im expecting. Has anyone here taken these during pregnancy? bit confused what to do.
I would be really cautious with herbal mixes in pregnancy because many arent tested and some can be unsafe. I avoided all such things unless my doctor specifically approved. Please run any herb past your gynac before taking it, better safe than sorry.
I cant say whats safe, but I personally stopped all my herbal supplements once I found out, just to be careful. I only took what my doctor gave me. Maybe ask your gynac about the specific ones you have in mind.
In my pregnancy I steered clear of all herbal and alternative remedies, my doctor warned that some can affect the pregnancy. Just because its natural doesnt mean its safe now. Please check with your gynac before taking any herb.
