Lady's Mantle in Pregnancy: Effect and Application

Not only during pregnancy, lady's mantle has a certain effect on the hormonal balance of women. Not every effect of the plant is desirable during pregnancy. You can find out what you need to know in this article.

Effect of lady's mantle in pregnancy

A certain hormone plays an important role in early pregnancy. The hormone progesterone, also called the yellow body hormone, ensures that the fertilized egg cell can nestle in the endometrium.

• The woman's body forms this hormone until the 3rd month of pregnancy to maintain the pregnancy.
• Lady's mantle contains a substance that is very similar to this progesterone.
• For this reason, lady's mantle is also often recommended for those who do not wish to have children due to a lack of progesterone.
• At the same time, lady's mantle promotes blood circulation in the uterus.
• The medicinal herb also contains high concentrations of tannins. These have a contracting effect on the skin and mucous membrane. During pregnancy, this effect can promote premature labor.

Use only after consulting a doctor

Depending on the stage of pregnancy, a certain effect of lady's mantle may be desirable.

• On the one hand, the progesterone-like ingredient can get an early pregnancy. The contraceptive effect of the remedy speaks against this.
• This in turn may be desirable towards the end of pregnancy, shortly before the birth date.
• Since every woman reacts differently to the ingredients of plants, you should not use lady's mantle on your own if you are pregnant.
• Be sure to talk to your gynecologist. Most doctors will be critical of the use of lady's mantle during pregnancy, primarily because of its labor-enhancing effects.
• Your doctor may not object to a lady's mantle tea towards the end of pregnancy. If he has no objection, you can drink two cups of lady's mantle tea two to three weeks before the expected date of birth.
• To do this, put about two teaspoons of the tea in a cup and pour hot water over it. Let the tea steep for about 10 minutes.
• Tip : Due to the high concentration of tannins, women's coat tea tastes quite bitter. A little honey improves the taste - and honey does not pose a risk during pregnancy.
