I usually have wheatgrass shots every morning for health benefits. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm not sure if it's safe to continue. Can pregnant women safely consume wheatgrass?
I am in my 20th week and my friend suggested wheatgrass juice for iron, but I am too anxious to try it. I keep worrying if it's safe for the baby. Has anyone else consumed wheatgrass juice during their second trimester?
I kept reading articles about how raw wheatgrass juice can cause stomach infections because of mold or bacteria, which made me so anxious. Even though some people say it's healthy, the stress of worrying isn't worth it. Please consult your doctor before having it.
During my IVF journey, I learned to be very cautious about raw herbs and juices. Wheatgrass is often consumed raw, which carries a risk of bacteria if not cleaned properly. It might be safer to avoid it and choose cooked green veggies for nutrition.
I would strongly advise against having wheatgrass juice during pregnancy. Because it grows in soil and is consumed raw, there is a high risk of soil-borne bacteria like listeria, which can be dangerous. Please don't take any risks and stick to safe, cooked foods.
Honestly, wheatgrass tastes so much like raw grass that I couldn't even stand the smell of it during pregnancy! Why drink that when you can have fresh coconut water or safe fruit juices? Skip the grassy drinks and treat yourself to something actually tasty!
