Can kava be consumed during pregnancy or lactation?

In case a woman is pregnant or pursuing lactation (the act of feeding milk) she must strictly avoid the consumption of kava at that instance. The reason that supports the non-consumption of this natural juice is that its ingredients somehow inject harmful impact on her fetus. Even the baby’s health who is lying beneath the mother’s womb can severely be impacted if the consumption is not avoided by the woman who is pregnant.
