Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query.
There are no clear evidences about the risk of taking Collagen supplements during pregnancy.It means that it is not clear if taking Collagen during pregnancy will have a harmful effect on the baby or not.
Taking collagen is generally considered safe but because it is uncertain the effect on the fetus ,it is better to avoid using it during pregnancy ,or at least during first and second trimester of pregnancy.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any question.
