Is turmeric or 'golden milk' during pregnancy ok?

Question

I'm 11w1d and all of a sudden had a huge craving for turmeric milk. I used to drink it on occasion before getting pregnant..but now reading up on it I'm unsure of the safety during pregnancy. Has anyone drank some here & there throughout their pregnancy and everything was ok?

Answer

Turmeric is very healthy and great for you! My MIL lives in India and everyone there drinks it throughout pregnancy without a problem. She sent me a bag of fresh turmeric when she heard I was pregnant. ☺️

Answer

I’ve been drinking it my entire pregnancy

Answer

Never had this but it sounds delicious!! How do you make it?

Answer

Many doctors will tell you NOT to have turmeric because of its anti-inflammatory effects. It is not safe to take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory products or medications during pregnancy.

Answer

I’m an herbalist and am usually in support of a lot of herbs during pregnancy, but turmeric other than as a spice is a no- no. Sorry.

Answer

I take capsules sometimes, i have friends who took it their whole pregnancy and their babies completely healthy
