2nd Trimester

grapefruit seed extract

Has anyone heard about taking this from your 20 week to the end of your pregnancy to help in avoiding a positive Group B Strep test?

I have a friend who is a Doula and she suggested this for me to start doing.  I would like to, but I need to read about it more.  I also wanted to see if there was anyone who had actually tried it.

Do you know anything about this?

Re: grapefruit seed extract

  • I have used this in the past a lot for me and my family, especially to fight colds or other infections.  I have never used it while pregnant just because I didn't know if it was safe for pregnancy or not.  But if a doula suggested it, I guess it would be safe?
