Turmeric (Curcumin) Positive & Side Effects

Stimulate Contractions

Consuming turmeric during pregnancy is a controversial debate. Many studies have suggested that this spice would stimulate labor and contractions in women. As a result, it would affect the overall health of the mother and the baby at the same time. The blood-thinning effects can also be bad for pregnant women. However, adding a small amount to the diet is not a problem. Consult your healthcare provider to get the exact daily intake to reduce the risk. [9]
