Stay safe & avoid : Indian gooseberry has antioxidant, cholesterol lowering, and other health benefits, and has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine. But because we do not know specifically about its effects or risks in pregnancy, you should probably be safe & avoid the gooseberry.
