Brief Answer:
pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
By 5th month, i presume she should be 16 -17 weeks of gestation counting from her last menstrual period.
She can take saffron now as she has crossed her first trimester. She can take 1-2 strands in a glass of milk each day. Though saffron is ideally to be avoided in first trimester as literature states that more than 5gms per day can be harmful and can cause miscarriage in women.
She would be due for her ANOMALY SCAN between 18-20 weeks of her gestation , which is the most important scan of pregnancy to rule out any congenital or morphological anomalies in the foetus. Continue her antenatals as prescribed by your doctor and avoid lifting any weights or travelling, intercourse and try sleeping in left lateral position .
wishing her good health,
Regards
pregnancy
