Im 5 months and my MIL adds jaiphal in almost everything, milk mein bhi. Thoda doubt ho raha hai whether itna nutmeg is okay now. Anyone asked their gynac about this?
A tiny pinch in your kheer is fine, but avoid heavy herbal preparations or jaiphal powders. Large quantities can act as a uterine stimulant, so keep it strictly limited.
Honestly, just skip it from your daily diet to avoid doubts. It’s easier to just avoid such confusing spices rather than researching them while managing work and home.
Nutmeg (jaiphal) is okay in very tiny pinch-like amounts in food sometimes. But don't take it as a medicine or in large quantities because high doses are not safe in pregnancy.
I understand how scary it is to worry about every single ingredient you eat, I was the same! Just avoid nutmeg in daily tea or milk to be safe and stay peaceful.
I would strongly advise avoiding nutmeg completely during these months. Even a small risk isn't worth it, so please check with your doctor before consuming any herbs.
