Is Ginger supplements safe during pregnancy?
Ginger supplements may help pregnancy nausea, but check with your clinician first — especially if you take other medicines.
What the sources say
NCCIH says research suggests ginger may help nausea and vomiting of pregnancy and that ginger supplements during pregnancy may be safe, but advises consulting your provider. MotherToBaby generally doesn't suggest herbal supplements in pregnancy or breastfeeding unless directed by a provider, notes ginger can interact with blood-pressure and blood-clotting medicines and can lower blood sugar at high doses, and says there isn't enough information on supplements while breastfeeding.
