Dietary Precautions During Pregnancy
by: Beverley Brooke
When you are pregnant, you should be sure to wash all raw vegetables
prior to consumption. Raw vegetables have the potential to carry
toxoplasmosis, which is a parasite that is typically carried in the feces
of cats. It can sometimes get into the soil and contaminate fruits or
vegetables.
Many women are interested in trying natural alternatives to medications
during pregnancy. Some turn to herbal remedies. It is important that you
consult with your healthcare provider during pregnancy to ensure that an
herb is safe before you take it. Some herbs can be harmful to you or your
unborn fetus, and result in premature labor, miscarriage or even birth
defects. Some of the more commonly known herbs to avoid during pregnancy
include:
- Goldenseal
- Mugwort

2. - Penny Royal
- Aloe Vera
- Black Cohosh
- Blue Cohosh
- Buchers Broom
- False Unicorn
- Feverfew
- Juniper
- Lady’s Mantle
- Wormwood
Most of these herbs are known for their ability to stimulate the uterus,
which might lead to premature contractions or miscarriage. That said,
midwives have used some herbs in the last trimester to help restart a
stalled labor or initiate an overdue labor. It is essential that you not
try to use any of these herbs however without first consulting a
qualified healthcare provider. The consequences could be devastating.
