Ashwaganda
Has anyone taken ashwagnada while pregnant? I’ve been taking it for a few weeks now, along with my anxiety meds.(some days I forget to take it)
I found out I’m about 5 weeks pregnant. Well… I went down the google rabbit hole to see if it is safe and it says it can cause miscarriage and now I’m freaking out. My first OB appointment isn’t until mid march. Someone tell me I’ll be ok😭

Yes! And I puked it up the second I did so I never did again.
You can call and ask your OB even if you don’t have an appointment

You’d need to be taking a high dose to increase chance for a miscarriage. I personally would discontinue use for now. Some people may say that you can continue it in smaller doses during pregnancy, but it’s an adaptogen so I wouldn’t personally, doesn’t seem worth the risk when you aren’t supposed to be on it more than once average 6 weeks at a time anyhow. I’d been taking ashwaganda at the beginning of my first pregnancy before finding out and my son is a 99th percentile toddler and thriving!
