Hi! I use a lot of health apps for tracking stuff, and generally, for anything strong like berberine during pregnancy, it's always best to check with your Gynae. My apps always flag such things for doctor consultation.

Oh, I totally get it, pregnancy mein har choti cheez par tension hoti hai. For supplements like berberine, please, please talk to your doctor. Don't take any chances without medical advice, especially when pregnant.

Generally, for most things I prefer natural remedies, but pregnancy is a very delicate time. Berberine is quite potent, so seriously, don't use it unless your doctor specifically says it's okay. Best to be safe than sorry for the baby.
