Pregnant women should limit their intake of ground flaxseed to occasional use (not daily). Ground flaxseed contain lignans. There is not enough information about their safety in pregnancy.
The use of flaxseed or flaxseed oil during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not recommended. Animal studies show possible harmful effects, and there is little information in humans. Flaxseed may stimulate menstruation or have other hormonal effects and could be harmful to pregnancy.

You dont want to eat so much that your bowels become loose. 2 tsp sounds fine.
