Can pre & probiotic be taken during third trimester pregnancy?
I'm in my third trimester now and my doctor suggested probiotics. Can prebiotics and probiotics both be safely taken during the third trimester of pregnancy? I want to make sure they are beneficial.
Beta, prebiotics are good, but you can also try simple ghar ke nuskhe like fresh dahi or buttermilk in the afternoon. It is much safer and natural for the baby than buying tablets.
Yes dear, they are generally very helpful for the constipation we get in the final months. I always suggest showing the specific brand bottle to your doctor during your next weekly scan.
I took them because third-trimester digestion is literally a nightmare when you are sitting at a desk all day. But don't just buy any random brand online, get a quick prescription from your gynac first.
My private hospital nutritionist specifically prescribed a safe probiotic brand for my third trimester. It's always best to ask your clinical team because they know your exact blood reports.
Because of my PCOS, my gut health was always a bit tricky and I had to be very careful with supplements. Definitely ask your doctor before taking prebiotics in the third trimester as every pregnancy behaves differently.
