Is powdered ginger used in cooking safe during pregnancy?
kii asked:
I have read online that “taking” ginger during pregnancy could be harmful. I assume that they are talking about ginger supplements but I was wondering if there is any kind of caution advised about ginger powder like one would use in cooking. I like to make stirfry often and use quite a bit of ginger powder to season it. Is this safe or should I stop using it. If it is safe is there any amount that is recommended that one should not exceed during pregnancy?? I am about six weeks along if that matters. Thanks so much:)

yes it is safe
Ginger is a good cure for nausea/mornign sickness. Yes you can use it.
Ginger is perfectly fine and healthy =] Good luck and God Bless!
Absolutely it is safe. Ginger is actually recommended to help combat morning sickness.
ginger is actually good for u. So it is safe.
Ginger is fine. I don’t know where you read that it could be harmful since it is the most often prescribed homeopathic way to beat out morning sickness. Considering what you could be taking in, I’m sure cooking with it is fine. Don’t worry so much!
