Cordyceps for pregnancy

Hello mummies, anyone taking cordyceps during pregnancy? I’m at 21 weeks now, and my MIL insisted that i take cordyceps for my baby’s immunity, but I kinda worry as my pregnancy is not as smooth as others. I had 2 bleeding so far, luckily baby is fine. Basically I’m kinda scared of taking chinese meds 😅 Any mummy can advise please? Thank you!

Cordyceps is a big no no unless I have clearance from TCM doctor to take. It is a herb that will enhance blood flow, which may cause miscarriage in my opinion. Similarly ginseng and other blood flow thinning/enhancing herbs. Especially if you already have some bleeding. Pls be careful.
