    Ate Thai soup with lemongrass and galanga in it, is it safe?

    I think I made a mistake going for Thai last night. I ate a soup with lemongrass in it but now I read that it's not safe in pregnancy. I have to say I don't feel great now, I feel sick and I can't sleep. I worry it damaging the baby as I am only 5 wks in. I was so careful in my first couple of pregnancies but this time round I wasn't that concerned but I am wondering if I made a mistake now.

    This was a quote I found on this website Herbs to Avoid, and Natural Remedies for Pregnancy Ailments - thought it might help you. IMO you'll be fine hunny x

    "This list refers to medicinal and not culinary uses of herbs. Keep in mind that even herbs that are on the "avoid" list are safe to eat in food, because of the small amount you consume, even if you eat it in several meals a week. "

    It also had an added ** on lemongrass which said it was safe to consume in cooking xx
