My MIL keeps suggesting ashwagandha for energy and sleep, says its natural so no problem. But im thoda hesitant to take anything ayurvedic without checking. Anyone asked their gynac about this?
Beta, ayurvedic herbs are good but not all of them are safe when you are pregnant. Ashwagandha should be avoided during these months as it can be too warm for the body. Stick to warm saffron milk or simple home-cooked food instead.
I felt so overwhelmed with all the herbal advice people gave me during my pregnancy. Someone suggested ashwagandha for my sleep, but when I asked my doctor, she strictly said no. I felt so relieved that I checked with her first.
Oh god, please don't take it! I used to overthink every single herb and spice, and when I researched, I found out ashwagandha can actually be risky during pregnancy. It is always better to be safe than sorry, so please avoid it and talk to your doctor.
I am in my 2nd trimester and my MIL also suggested this for strength, but I read online that it’s not safe. Did anyone else's family also force them to take ayurvedic herbs? I'm quite scared of saying no but I don't want to take it.
Honestly, why take the risk with herbs like ashwagandha? If you are taking it for energy or sleep, just try having a warm glass of milk or doing light stretching. Stick to what your doctor prescribes and keep it simple.
Arey na, ashwagandha bilkul mat lena pregnancy me. Maine suna hai ki yeh pregnancy me safe nahi hota aur contractions trigger kar sakta hai. Apne gynac se bina pooche bilkul mat khao ye sab.
