Parsley?

in 3rd Trimester
I was just talking to my mom on facebook about how excited we both are about this baby coming, and she suggested that I try parsley to help get things going. This is totally new to me and not something I had heard of before.

    Never heard of it, but if you google it you'll get lots of hits.  It sounds like it might be another OWT, but heck, anything is worth a shot, right?  ;)

    I would not recommend medicinal doses of parsley during pregnancy without the guidance of a licensed herbalist (and only then the woman should be 40+ weeks)  I definitely would not not consider it at 37 weeks. It's an emmenagogue (stimulates menstruation) and uterine stimulant. It can also dry up milk supply which is counter-productive if you're wanting to breastfeed.

    Someone told me to avoid parsley during the 1st trimester, when I asked why this lady told me they used it years ago for abortions. I was never big using parsley so I didn't pay much attention...

    Parsley in cooking is fine, it's the medicinal dosage which will have an effect.
