There are no sufficient studies to prove maca is safe for pregnant women. It is highly recommended to seek your doctor's opinion before consuming it.

My sister stopped taking maca powder the moment she found out she was expecting. Better not to risk it.

I had some maca in a smoothie before knowing I was pregnant and panicked, but my doctor said a tiny amount is fine. Just don't take it anymore.
