Chinese Tonic
isit advicable to take chinese herbs / tonic (ie. bird nest with bao sheng) during 1st to 2nd trimester or better to avoid at all cost?
I'm presently at Wk 13, took pure bird nest during 1st Trimester especially during the early stage when the fetus cells are rapidly developing. I researched and found those bird nest with Pao Shen or other components to be unsuitable during pregnancy. During my Wk 12 visit, the U/S already revealed the baby's spine by the gynae, then i stopped.
Read moreMy gynae advised me to avoid during trimester 1 but okay to take bird nest from trimester 2. I didn’t take bao sheng because I read it somewhere it is not advisable to take during pregnancy 🤔
Avoid in first trimester! I intend to take bird nest in second trimester. Not sure about bao sheng
