I used to have a spoon of flax seeds daily for my hair before pregnancy and kind of stopped after the positive test. now im 6 weeks and wondering if its fine to continue in early days. anyone been told something by their doc?
I read mixed things about flax in early pregnancy, some say go easy on it because of the hormone like effect. I just kept it small and checked with my doc, she said tiny amount in food is okay. Best to confirm with yours.
I had a small spoon for the omega-3 and fibre, but i did ask my doctor before adding it daily. She said keep it moderate. So ya, just clear it with yours and dont overdo it.
A small sprinkle in your food is usually fine, but dont go overboard with big amounts of flaxseed in early pregnancy. When in doubt just ask your gynac, mine told me moderation is key.
I love flax normally but in the first trimester i went slow with it. A little in roti dough or curd is fine. For anything you eat in big quantity better to run it by your doctor first.
