My MIL is suggesting shatavari and says its very good for pregnant women. Im 4 months now and bit hesitant to start any ayurvedic thing without knowing. has anyone taken it during pregnancy?
During my IVF journey, I was extremely careful with herbs. Shatavari is great for postpartum milk supply, but please check with your doctor before taking it during pregnancy to ensure it won't interfere with your hormones.
I focused more on safe prenatal yoga and walks with my doctor's permission to stay healthy. I'd say skip the herbal powders like Shatavari during pregnancy unless your doctor specifically recommends it.
Shatavari kalpa is quite popular, but don't just buy and eat it because someone suggested. It's best to ask your gynac if you actually need it right now.
Listen, don't start taking random herbs just because relatives told you. Ask your gynac first; if they say yes, then take it, otherwise stick to standard vitamins.
I tried taking it for energy, but it actually made my morning sickness worse due to the herbal smell. Better to wait until your doctor prescribes it, especially in the first trimester.
