I've been sticking strictly to my light prenatal yoga and daily walks, which my doctor allowed, instead of trying new herbal things. These days I avoid herbs like mullein completely because we don't know if they are fully safe during pregnancy. Better to focus on safe physical activity and ask your doctor first.
Beta, pregnancy me har tarah ki jadibooti ya herbal tea nahi leni chahiye, jaise ye mullein hai. Isse achha thoda garm pani me tulsi ya adrak daal kar pi lo agar khansi hai, par sabse pehle apne doctor se pooch lo.
When I was pregnant, I felt so anxious about every little thing I consumed, even herbal teas. I wanted to try some natural remedies for my cough but my doctor advised against mullein, and I felt it was best to just trust her words to keep my baby safe.
Oh, I haven't tried mullein at all, I am busy craving spicy street food and sweet mangoes right now! Honestly, with herbs, I always feel it's better to stay on the safe side and stick to normal kitchen foods unless the doctor gives a green light.
Actually, there is very little scientific research on mullein safety during pregnancy, so most doctors recommend avoiding it. My gynac strictly told me not to take any unregulated herbal supplements or teas without asking her first because it can affect the baby. If you have a cold or cough, ask your doctor for a safe prescription instead.
I'm in my second trimester now and honestly, I get so scared of taking any herb or medicine. Has anyone else's doctor told them if mullein tea is safe or unsafe? I have a bad throat but I'm just too nervous to try it without hearing from other moms first.
