Anyone continue taking Maca Root through 1st Trimester

[Housewifeof3]

I was taking maca root up until my after only 1 cycle but. Went for my 7wk ultrasound for them to tell me I was measuring a week off. And did not see a heartbeat! I have to return next Thurs. to see if my weeks are off of if Im going to miscarry!! Im concerned that stopping my maca root so quickly might not have been right. Just wondering if anyone that took MACA continued until the 12 week of pregnancy an carried to full term!!

Maca root looks to stabilize your hormones which is great when you are not pregnant... But your hormones are meant fluctuate now that you're pregnant. I was told to avoid it but maybe check with someone who would know more about these things.

Thank you so much for your reply. Of course I asked my Dr. And she had never heard of it. I guess this is going to be a long week then.

Maybe ask someone in your local health shop! Relax for the week if possible - baby is most likely measuring a few days behind and everything will be fine!
