I just found out I am pregnant (unplanned). I have been taking fenugreek and saw palmetto. I stopped when I found out. Will my baby be affected?

I think it very unlikely your baby will be affected.

Those little embryonic people are pretty tough - just think of all the women who smoke / drink etc before they realise they're pregnant, and then go on to have healthy babies.

Just start taking your folic acid now and maybe an ante-natal vitamin, keep your act as clean as possible, and you and the little one will be fine.

Oh, and congratulations!

Just wanted to say congratulations! I'm pretty sure fenugreek would be fine, so many people use it to help breastfeed their babies so I think it would be pretty safe. All the best ;) Jojo xxx

I wouldn't think so since saw palmetto is also used to promote fertility, but ask an herbalist. Wish you luck.

Pregnant women are advised to avoid saw palmetto since it can cause problems for the development of male babies. So you did the very best thing by stopping. Asking your doctor would probably reassure you that it is early enough not to be a worry.
