Hey! Gals,

Saffron can be started from the 5th month, that is when actually the skin of the baby begins to form. It is actually advisable to take 3-4 days in a week. The best way to take it is, after taking caster oil bath. This way the heat in the body does not increase.
As doc always says....Don't over do anything.

Take care...

Tea and pregnancy

Dear Shell,
Tea and coffee both contain caffine and this is not too good during pregnancy. No threats but this may cause two things:
1. low weight birth
2. Pre-term labor.

In Indian villages many or almost no one knows this and many girls drink tea while pregnant. Would not advice you to drink tea, still.

Kind of life for Indian village and here is radically different, so don't try that option.

As long as you drink Decaffinated tea you are safe. Should you need authentic confirmation talk to your Dr.

If any girl from December group is drinking tea avoid regular tea.

Congrats to you Shell on your pregnancy and wish you safe journey.
Archie

Never heard like this

Dear Geetha,
Saffron is a home treament and Gujarathis food regularly include saffron in desserts. It should not be bad at all. I took it from 8th week as I was told by my mother and MIL, both. I am OK with that, there is no scientific justification. But if millions of Indian practice and see many of them making a difference to baby's complexion I would do that, am doing. Hope this is some comment but not an answer to what you ask for.

Choice is your!

Dear Geetha,

I am Maharashtrian. You can hang in there till you enter second trimester, better to be careful than sorry. I would not like to be hold responsible. I took from week 8 and so far things are fine. Each individual has differnce in body heat and may be I am lucky to have less.

No, do not add saffron in each milk. Once a day is sufficient and use 3-4 strands not more than that!

Hope this helps

Saffron

Hi Archie,
Down in the south, some people believe that saffron increases the heat in the body so its not good to take it in first 3 months as they r very delicate months. But some people say its ok to add a little saffron to ur milk. That's why I'm in a dilemma!

Sinve u said u r taking it from 8th week, now I think its ok to have it :)
Anyway how much do u take everyday? I drink 3 cups of milk. Is it ok if I add a pinch everytime?
