Gah - I just had to google it because I've been taking it.

Most of what I found said "Not recommended for use in pregnancy". Guess I better look at alternatives too!]]> Sun, 11 Apr 2010 19:27:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32784&PID=993288&title=echinacea-anyone#993288 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32784&PID=993245&title=echinacea-anyone#993245 Author: BugTeeny

I'm not 100% on the answer for this, but I'll be watching with interest.

I had a glass of orange juice the other day (at a family member's house) and saw the label on the bottle afterwards saying the juice was "fortified with Vitamin C and Echinacea".
Something rang a bell in my head, so I read on and the label also says "Not reccomended for pregnant or lactating women"

It was only .05% of the total drink, but still.

I'm not game enough to Google it

I have a lurking cold - I probably just need a couple of good nights sleep, but how do you do that when you are pregnant?!?!?!?
I asked my midwife about taking echinacea because i have previously (when not preg) and it helped. She wasn't sure and told me to find a health shop that has a herbalist and ask them.
Anyone done any research on this or is a herbalist and can help me?!?!?!
I'm going to get myself some Vit C and garlic pills tomorrow but a bit weary about the garlic - i've only just started eating it in food again in the past couple of weeks cause pregnant belly did not like!!
Any other tips are most welcome. SO OVER THIS!
