This is typically prescribed to improve placental blood flow and fetal growth. However, it's a specific medical supplement, so please don't start it without your doctor's green light. They will check your blood pressure and scans first.

There is no scientific study saying sesame seeds prevent conception or cause miscarriage in normal food amounts. They actually have good fats and minerals. Just eat them in moderation and don't overthink these old kitchen rules, you are totally safe.
