Is barley good for third trimester of pregnancy?
Barley water is generally safe during all trimesters—first, second, and third—if consumed in moderate quantities. It helps with digestion, hydration, and urinary health. But those with gluten intolerance or allergies should avoid it. It is safe to consume barley during pregnancy in moderation. Anecdotal evidence suggests the use of barley water to reduce common pregnancy symptoms. However, excess consumption may make you sick, and in some women, it may also trigger gluten intolerance.
