Can a pregnant woman drink Lacasera apple drink? Effect of lacasera on pregnancy?
From my mailbox;
Dear Nimedhealth,
My name is folake and I am 4 months pregnant. My morning sickness have been so severe so I have found solution in drinking lacasera. Whenever I take lacasera, the nausea and vomiting that comes with my morning sickness stops. So I have been taking it more often. Sometimes , as a pregnant women i take two plastic bottles of lacasera daily. Recently my friend told me that taking lacasera in pregnancy can cause miscarriage and premature labour. I am also worried that lacasera can cause congenital birth defects and big baby syndrome because of the too much sugar. Please doctor, I need your advice, can a pregnant woman drink Lacasera apple drink? What are the side effects ?
Folake from Lagos.
Folake,
Thank you for reaching out…very sorry about your morning sickness… the symptoms can be terrible in some pregnant women…i have seen pregnant women admitted in the hospital for severe morning sickness called hyperemesis gravidarum…the associated vomiting and nausea can be killing.
Now;here is a very short info in lacasera:
