Q: I am in my 21st week of pregnancy. I have been consuming 2 to 3 kaju rolls everyday. Is the silver leaf (chandi warak) which is over the kaju roll/burfi safe during pregnancy? Is it harmful to fetal development?

A:There is no direct link found between silver leaf intake in the quantity you mentioned in pregnancy. However, in your physiological condition, I would prefer you do not continue to take this and also dont worry. Consult your doctor if you note any gastrointestinal symptoms lately.
