Star anise
Has anyone had star anise in pregnancy? A coworker has given me some in my drink, I drank about 4 sips until I realised however it’s not on the NHS website on foods to avoid but other sources are mixed messages. So worried 😩

So much Indian food has star anise in it and I’ve been eating it in foods as do many other Asians (for many centuries now). I’m sure it’s absolutely fine or there’d be a wealth of evidence against it given how it’s in loads of foods!
Don’t worry. It’s a small quantity you’ll be fine.
Thank you all for providing a bit of peace of mind 🫣 I hate to be panicking over the small things it’s just my rainbow and I’ve been so careful!
Totally get it, I had some cookie dough brookie (cooked) yday and I could taste egg. So stopped after one bite

I wouldn’t worry too much. You only had 4 sips and it’s only not recommended due to a lack of information on it. I’d still avoid it going forward, but I wouldn’t stress
