My mother in law made bird nest w tiny bits of ginseng last night. I feel so guilty eating it as there is ginseng… there seems to be no benefits of ginseng when one is pregnant?? I’m at trimester 2 Update: she said it’s Pao shen? What’s the diff between that n ginseng?

My tcm dr and gyane both informed not to take ginseng, American ginseng for now. So best to avoid. Bird nest is ‘cooling’ in tcm perspective and best to only take from 3rd trimester onwards. U can check with ur tcm dr if u have one.
