Bird nest with ginseng and rock sugar

Hello mummies! I’m currently in my week 13. My PIL just bought a carton of New Moon Bird Nest with American Ginseng and Rock Sugar for me… but I’ve done some reading which says that ginseng is not recommended during pregnancy. Am wondering if it is safe for me to consume? Thinking the ginseng content may not be high in such drinks, but I’m still a little sceptical as it is my first pregnancy. Appreciate any kind advice, thank you!

It actually depends on your body condition. If you wanna take, better to consult a tcm to ask if your current body condition is suitable to take American ginseng or not. Note that they'll are called Hua qi shen or yang shen, not ren shen (the Korean type of ginseng).
