I'm going to download the Ovia app, it looks so straightforward and handy. I just remembered hearing common herbs and spices are sometimes avoided during pregnancy so I thought I'd check. Didn't mean to cause alarm with everyone else, it seems like the consensus is that cinnamon is OK.</p> <p>@kiddosc: I'm having a rough first few weeks of pregnancy, so I'm a bit more on edge than the average excited pregnant woman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cinnamon-and-pregnant#post-2045502 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 12:57:13 +0000 kiddosc 2045502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't even vote, I've never heard of this.

I stay away from Dr Google. I love the ingredient lookup on my Ovia app if I'm not sure. Here is a snapshot. </p> [attach=5281/15/niy8ea.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cinnamon-and-pregnant#post-2045402 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 12:24:14 +0000 blackbird 2045402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Large amounts of cinnamon can start contractions. I would not worry about the amount you're putting on your oatmeal! And it probably means cinnamon essential oil...not the culinary kind. Very different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cinnamon-and-pregnant#post-2045399 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 12:22:51 +0000 coopsmama 2045399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally fine. :) Cinnamon is one of those things that you'd never use in the amount that it would take to cause problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cinnamon-and-pregnant#post-2045398 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 12:22:39 +0000 sorrycharlie 2045398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had never heard this! I had cinnamon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cinnamon-and-pregnant#post-2045396 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 12:20:59 +0000 zarzar 2045396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it safe to have cinnamon while pregnant? I had some cinnamon and nutmeg in my oatmeal this morning, and Dr. Google has some mixed comments on its safety. It seems safe in amounts used in food as long as you aren't eating a ton of it, but I could use a little reassurance! </p>
