Should The Consumption Of Cinnamon During Pregnancy Be Avoided To Overcome Preterm Labour Pain?
I have never heard that pregnant women should avoid cinnamon as it may cause contractions and risk of pre term delivery. Occasional cinnamon in tea, sprinkled on toast, etc shouldn t cause this, I am thinking perhaps in larger does taken via supplements or ingested daily might be ill-advised. What does the current research say?

Hi,
Consuming cinnamon in small or moderate amounts has no harm on pregnancy. It does not cause preterm labor.
