Is taking Milk thistle during pregnancy ok?
Yes, as long as it is prescribed by a Naturopath or Herbalist. It can be fantastic for persistent nausea, obstetric cholestastis, and people with existing liver or gall bladder complaints. Dose is very important in pregnancy, and usually less is more - you don't want to push the liver into 'detox-mode' when you are pregnant.
