My cousin keeps telling me to start spirulina for energy and iron. Im 14 weeks and honestly a little unsure about adding any supplement on my own. Did anyone take it during pregnancy?
I avoided taking anything fancy like spirulina during my pregnancy to be safe. I just focused on simple home-cooked meals, which also helped me recover well post my C-section. Do ask your doctor before starting it.
I also panicked when my friend suggested spirulina and I didn't know if it was safe! I asked my doctor and she told me to stick to normal prenatal vitamins instead. It's totally fine to just avoid it if you're unsure.
While spirulina is highly nutritious, there is a risk of heavy metal contamination in some commercial brands. Because of this, it is highly recommended to consult your gynecologist before adding any such supplements to your diet.
Bahut log iske baare mein bolte hain, par humne toh kabhi nahi khaya. Pregnancy mein bina doctor se pooche aisi cheezein nahi khani chahiye. Ghar ka fresh khana khao, wahi sabse achha hai.
I was actually looking into green powders like spirulina for my preconception diet! But I read that we need to be very careful with herbal supplements during pregnancy. Better to double check with a doc first.
