i am sick of this what u can and cant eat seriously am

i google then worry so dont know now

is it safe to eat? has anyone else been eating it since being preg

I think that the reasons for not having it are that it can cause premature labor by causing the uterus to contract, but that has to be in high doses, and it can actually be benfitial in pregnancy. Here is a link to a study that shows it can prevent hypertension in pregnant women https://www.zhion.com/herb/Rhubarb.html

Just double-checked, and it is definitely meant in supplement amounts, not in regular food. Don't worry about eating it, just don't make a tincture of it or use any essential oils of it.
