Is it safe to take natural or herbal products during pregnancy?

As with medications during pregnancy, caution is advised when it comes to natural or herbal products during pregnancy. 

Although many people believe these products are safer than medications, this is not always the case. In fact, most of them lack clinical testing to confirm their safety and effectiveness, especially during pregnancy.

In reality, for many natural products, we do not know all the effects they can have on the mother and the developing baby.

Therefore, it is important to consult your healthcare professional (pharmacist, nurse, doctor) before using natural or herbal products. They can ensure that they are safe for your pregnancy.
