Food To Avoid During Pregnancy?

I'm now in my 20 weeks pregnancy. Can I eat Bak Kut Teh(a type of herbal soup Without Ginseng)? Recently my friend which is pregnant too told me not to take this soup. I was told by my Dr not to take ginseng only.

I had the black type of bkt once or twice at the foodcourt but i think the herbs they dont put much also.

The peppery one is essentially mainly garlic and pepper, so that one is alright:)

I avoid all herbs throughout pregnancy . I think the peppery one is ok

Yes avoid ginseng at all costs as it promotes qi in the blood
