Midwife suggested me to take flax seeds thrice a day, but i heard it has phytoestrogen & should be avoided by pregnant women, can cause miscarriage too?

NO!: You're better off not taking anything during your pregnancy except that recommended by your ob. There's a reason why she's a midwife and not a physician -- it's called many years of schooling, education and experience. Don't take chances with your pregnancy!
