Is Chat Chewing During Pregnancy Harmful?
Is chat chewing safe during pregnancy?
I am 26 years old female, height-162 cm and weight 60 kgs. I am pregnant with my second child with Gestational age of 14 weeks. I have no other co-morbidity. I want to know the risks of chat chewing? and how much is bad?

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
I read your query.
Khat is genotoxic and has teratogenic effects on the fetus if regularly consumed by pregnant mothers.
So you should avoid using it so frequently.
It can be harmful.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health
