Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw oat bran is safe with precautions during pregnancy and must be cooked or soaked before eating. It delivers concentrated soluble fiber to lower cholesterol and alleviate constipation, along with iron and zinc. Cook thoroughly into warm porridge or bake completely into muffins rather than consuming dry. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to prevent intestinal gas and support smooth digestive transit.
