Cranberry Pills whilst pregnant

[GaaaaarlicBread]

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knows if it’s safe to take Cranberry Pills in pregnancy ?
I will ask the MW but I’m not seeing her for another 3 weeks so just wondered if anyone had been told they can take them when pregnant .
I have always taken them to prevent UTI’s after suffering with them quite frequently a few years ago and they’ve done the trick . So I’m hoping I can continue to take them.
If it’s relevant , I’m 6 weeks and it’s my first pregnancy .
Thanks 😊

I would ask a pharmacist rather than a bunch of randoms on the internet

@CeeceeBloomingdale yes I said I would ask a professional on my post but just thought in the meantime I’d like to see if other people have experienced it and whether they’ve tried them :)

I wouldn't take any supplement in pill, because any of the major investigations have shown that whenever supplement are tested, what is in the box is not what is on the label. There are no safety control, you can't be sure of what is in the pill, what other ingredient might be added, the quality of the supplement and so on.
There was a case of dozens ending up in hospital with hepatitis and needing a transplant after taking contaminated curcumin supplements in Italy last May or June.

Don't. Period. Drink cranberry juice if you want.

I wouldn't wait 3 weeks to ask a MW though, I'd just ask a pharmacist today

I stopped taking them after finding out I was pregnant as I read they could have a blood thinning side effect and wasn’t sure if they were safe or not.
