Can saffron be used in third trimeste in pregnancy?
My MIL started giving me milk with kesar now that I am in third trimester. I dont mind the taste but I am not sure how much is okay. Did you take saffron milk near the end?
A few strands in milk is what most of us did, not spoonfuls. Moderation is the whole point. Both my pregnancies I had it occasionally with my doctor knowing, never made it a daily heavy thing.
My amma gave me kesar milk in the last trimester, just a couple of strands. It was more for tradition and warmth than anything. I had asked my gynac and she said small amount is fine for me, so do check once with yours.
My saas was very keen on the kesar milk in last months haan. I kept it to a tiny amount and told my doctor about it just to be safe. Everyone was happy that way.
Because I had complications I was extra careful with anything in third trimester. Saffron in large amounts isnt advised, so even the kesar milk thing I cleared with my doctor first. Please run it by yours before starting.
In our families a tiny pinch of kesar in milk is a loved tradition in later months. But the key word is tiny, a few strands only. Do mention it to your doctor first, especially if you have any BP or other issue.
