You cannot drink motherwort water when you are pregnant. It can treat abdominal pain caused by blood stasis, and has the effect of removing blood stasis and promoting new blood circulation, hence the name "Yimu".

Since you are pregnant, it is impossible to have menstrual bleeding problems. Motherwort has the effect of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and stimulating the uterus, which can easily cause miscarriage. It is recommended to ensure the supply of high-quality protein during early pregnancy. The growth and development of the embryo and the increase of maternal tissue in early pregnancy both require protein. This is a critical period for embryonic development. At this time, protein and amino acid deficiency or insufficient supply can cause slow fetal growth or even deformities.

Motherwort has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, regulating menstruation, and eliminating water. It can cause uterine contraction. Modern pharmacological research has found that motherwort has a significant stimulating effect on women's uterus, whether pregnant or not, early or late pregnancy uterus, or postpartum uterus. Its effect is similar to that of posterior pituitary hormone and ergoline. Motherwort has an excitatory effect on the uterus, which manifests as increased uterine tension, greater contraction amplitude, and faster rhythm. Therefore, motherwort can easily cause miscarriage and is prohibited for pregnant women. It is best for pregnant women not to take medicine randomly, eat more nutritious products, pay attention to rest, and maintain a good mood.

Pregnant women must not drink motherwort water, otherwise it will cause serious consequences and they will regret it later.
