My saas got me shatavari powder saying its good for the baccha. Im 5 months along and a bit unsure about taking ayurvedic things without asking doc first. Did anyone take it during pregnancy? Planning to check with my gynac also.
Yaar, my mom was also asking me to take some ayurvedic stuff like shatavari. But actually, my doc strictly said not to take anything without asking her first. Even if it's natural, it can have effects na. So, better to confirm with your gynac, don't risk it.
Oh, I've heard about Shatavari for fertility and lactation, but I'm in my second trimester and I'm really careful about what I put into my body. Did your doctor suggest it? I think it's safest to stick to what your gynac approves. Has anyone else used it?
With twins, I was already taking so many things doc prescribed, didn't want to add anything extra! While Shatavari is known for its benefits, pregnancy is a sensitive time. Always, always check with your obstetrician. Better safe than sorry, especially with two little ones on board!
Honestly, I avoided taking any new herbs or supplements during my pregnancy unless my doctor specifically told me to. Shatavari is an ayurvedic herb, so it's best to discuss it with your gynac first, just to be absolutely safe for you and the baby. Everyone's body is different.
Shatavari is traditionally known for reproductive health, but its safety during pregnancy is debated and not always universally recommended by modern medicine. It's crucial to consult your gynecologist before taking any herbal supplements, including Shatavari, during pregnancy. They know your health history best.
