Accidentally drank herbal soup in week 4 (十全大补汤)

Did not know I was 4 weeks pregnant when I drank the herbal soup! Will it be very harmful for the baby? Worried!

don't need to worry too much. I was travelling for work and drinking alcohol almost everyday, eating raw food and even fell down during my 4th week of pregnancy because I didn't know I was pregnant until my 6th week. but it turns out fine.

Don’t read too much articles, as it won’t help and only make you more worried. Just eat more healthy superfood for baby growth and development. And stay happy 😊

Drank herbal ginseng soup during first trimester but no harm to baby. Don’t overthink too much! It’s not like you’re over drinking or drinking everyday too!

If you only drank once at 4 weeks, baby should be still ok. But to take note, avoid all stuff with chinese herbs during your pregnancy.

not sure about this herbal soup maybe just observe if you have any cramps and bleeding during this period

Ok! I read that the herbs are really harmful and can affect development of the baby. Maybe I should not read so much…

I would think it's okay! it's jus one time and not in huge amounts.. it will be fine 🙂
