Amongst other things I am a qualified Midwife. I am absolutely horrified at the advice given to "look into" the possibility of taking drugs (of any sort) during pregnancy. That sort of advice is unspeakably irresponsible!
Under
NO circumstances should anyone who is pregnant take anything, and that includes folk remedies and tonics, without first seeking the advice of their GP, Obstetrician or Midwife.
Please ensure that the person from whom you seek advice on these matters is
properly qualified to give such advice and not some amateur passing on a pet theory or something they have read in a magazine. You have two people to consider when ingesting different substances when pregnant and the baby doesn't get much say in the matter once you have consumed the substance. even apparently innocuous things can be dangerous to the health of the baby. Don't let your baby suffer for the rest of his or her lifetime because proper advice wasn't obtained.
