I was taking maca powder for energy before i found out i was pregnant. Now im 7 weeks and not sure if i should continue ya stop. Will ask my doc also but anyone here took it during pregnancy?
I stayed away from all such supplements during my pregnancy and even now while breastfeeding. Simple fresh fruits and home-cooked meals are much safer for the baby.
Please be very careful with what you consume right now. Because of my past experience, I suggest avoiding any herbal supplements like maca entirely. It is just not worth any risk, dear.
I would suggest avoiding maca root while you are pregnant as there isn't enough safety research on it. It is always better to stick to simple, safe foods during these nine months.
Look, don't experiment with random herbal supplements like maca right now. Pregnancy is not the time for these things, so just stick to your regular ghar ka khana and prescribed vitamins.
I was very careful with my diet and avoided all unfamiliar herbs like maca. It is much safer to stick to low-glycemic veggies, whole grains, and basic prenatal vitamins approved by your doctor.
I focus on simple prenatal yoga and light walks instead of taking fancy supplements like maca. Staying active naturally is much better, but do ask your doctor before trying any new food or exercise.
I remember wondering about different health foods when I was pregnant, but my doc told me to avoid maca completely. Standard prenatals are more than enough, so don't worry about extra herbs.
I used to take maca before for my PCOS, but my doctor told me to stop it immediately once I conceived. Herbal things can interfere with your hormones, so please avoid it for now.
Maca is an herbal supplement and its safety profile during pregnancy isn't clinically proven. Please do not take it without asking your gynac first, as herbs can affect hormones.
