My MIL keeps insisting i start shatavari and says its very good, but im not sure about the right time to take it during pregnancy or even if i should. Im in my second trimester. Anyone took it on doctor's advice?
Please dont start shatavari on your own during pregnancy. Some herbs are not advised in certain trimesters and I learnt the hard way to check first. Talk to your gynac before taking any ayurvedic thing.
Honestly with any supplement or herb in pregnancy the safest thing is to ask your doctor. They will tell you if and when its needed. I never took anything without my gynac okaying it.
I am all for natural stuff but timing of herbs matters a lot in pregnancy. Better to confirm the right time with your doctor rather than guessing. Safety first yaar.
In our home shatavari was usually given more after delivery for milk, not so much during pregnancy beta. But every body is different so do ask your doctor first na. Dont just follow what neighbours say.
