HELP!!! Aloe Vera = miscarriage???

Question

I am so scared right now. I’m about 5 weeks pregnant and ate about a cup of aloe last night. It was a topping in my tea. This morning, I had more tea with aloe and thought to myself, “hmm.. I wonder what wonderful benefits aloe has for my baby!” 
... turns out, girls used to consume aloe on purpose to miscarriage???? I am so scared right now!!
We lost our last baby due to an ectopic pregnancy and now 2 months later, I might lose my baby again but this time, it would be all my fault!!! :(
What can I do?? Should I be this worried? :’( I consumed about 1-2 cups of aloe :(

Answer

I suggest chilling out and calling your doctor for advice

Answer

Okay so I googled it and everything that says it causes harm are from random blogs. There’s no info from legitimate medical websites. If your are scared please call your ob, but you’re probably fine.

Answer

Apparently the potential negative effects are from the laxative effect you can get if you take enough. Most foods with a laxative effect aren't anywhere near as strong as medications and such and are incredibly unlikely to cause harm - many are recommended in pregnancy for constipation for that reason. I wouldn't worry. I also wouldn't Google too much.

Answer

That's what Google says but I've never read this or heard of it in person. I do have an herbal book about pregnancy I wonder if it is in there. I would call your doctor.

Answer

U can’t do anything about something u already ate aside from don’t keep consuming it🤷‍♀️

Answer

I’d never even heard of this. I drank an aloe drink when I was like 5 weeks pregnant (I threw it up, but still) I’m 29 weeks now and my baby is fine. I think you’ll probably be okay it’s probably one of those things you have to have a large amount of.

Answer

Call your doctor.

Answer

I think your baby will be okay most of the time stuff like this it takes a lot of the product for you to miscarry.
