Hi katochsimi, How are you now and the baby? Nutmeg is generally ok to take in little amounts in culinary dishes.. But over dose is not safe, but may not always be so.. For that matter, it has been said even parsley, fennel seeds shouldn't be taken in high dosages! Please check with your doc, a scan to see if everything is ok.. Check the baby and pray to God! Everything shall be okay.. and remember don't take so much of nutmeg again
Nutmeg in large quantities isn't safe. I too was in your shoes. I prepares amras and added nutmeg more. Later I threw it and dint drink after seeing it's effects. Pls call your doctor to ask. I'm sorry I'm not scaring you. But u can always ask doctor.
katochsimi, Good going girl.. Prayers and healthy wishes for you and your baby... Please do check with doc in your next visit, just be on the safer side
