Is It Safe To Take Pre Natal Vitamins And Shatavari During Early Pregnancy?

Hello. I have been taking Shatavari for nearly four months. I was advised to take the herbal supplement, along with pre-natal vitamins and DHA. I had a miscarriage last July and then again this past March. I was told by my OB/GYN that my reproductive system is fine, I m just at the age when the odds are against me (44 yrs old; 5 5 ; 165 lbs; only health issues are allergies to dust & pollen; history of fibroids). I think that I might be pregnant because I m beginning to feel the symptoms that I have had in the past. Is it safe to continue taking the pre-natal and Shatavari?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for asking your question. i have read your question carefully and i will ensure you to give my best.
As you are having history of abortion twice, you need to be extra precautious in this pregnancy.
It is absolutely safe to take prenatal vitamins and shatavari during pregnancy, in fact its actually beneficial during pregnancy for the growth of fetus, so be relaxed and don't get stressed.
I would also suggest you to avoid sexual intercourse, avoid heavy weight lifting and take sufficient rest. Also do regular follow up with your gynec and measure BP with sugar and do follow up sonography with triple marker tests to rule out any gross fetal malformations or genetic disorders, because your age is advancing.
Hope this will help you to clear your doubts and feel free to ask any more questions in future. best luck for your pregnancy.
