nutmeg and cinnamon

in Pregnant after IF
Hi Ladies,
So I baked a coffee cake today after craving for it for days. The recipe called for nutmeg (1/4tsp) and cinnamon (1 tsp) and I used them and it turned out to be delicious. But then something bothered me and I googled it: Mr. Google says nutmeg or cinnamon during pregnancy can be dangerous and lead to miscarriage! Has anyone heard about this? Now I am a ball of worry. I only ate a slice but could totally taste cinnamon and nutmeg. Am I in trouble?

    I've never heard of that and I definitely have eaten baked goods with both of those multiple times during pregnancy. Seems like even if it's not recommended such a small amount like that would be fine.

    I've only seen it mentioned if you're consuming it in large doses (like herbal pills).

    I hope this isn't true! For weeks the only thing I could keep down was cinnamon raisin english muffins! Today was the same way!
