A. Congratulations on your pregnancy! Saffron is a common spice that is used in many cultures to flavor and color food and drink, including milk. Saffron is generally considered safe to consume during pregnancy when used in moderation. Saffron contains compounds that are believed to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can provide health benefits during pregnancy. However, consuming large amounts of saffron can be harmful, as it may cause contractions and stimulate the uterus, which can lead to premature labor. As for the amount of saffron to consume, it's recommended to limit saffron intake during pregnancy to no more than a few strands per day. According to a research article in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, pregnant women should consume no more than 1.5 grams of saffron per day, which is equivalent to about 2-3 strands of saffron. It's always best to consult with your obstetrician or healthcare provider before consuming any new food or drink during pregnancy. They can provide personalized advice on what is safe and appropriate for your pregnancy, taking into account any preexisting medical conditions or health concerns.
