Probably because by the 8th month if u take too much 补 the baby will get too big. It's a concern if u are a small sized mummy, hard to push out and may end up csect. Another will be heatiness. Chinese tonics are generally on the heaty side. By 8th month we are supposed to take more cooling stuffs. This is what I understand from my mum! The Korean ginseng in honey is neither heaty nor cooling. Become neutral after soaking for so long in the raw honey. So for #1 I took it till I popped.
Really depends on ur own body. I'm prone to heatiness so I consume more cooling stuffs like coconut water even right now. Some mummies cannot take it though, will get cold easily and fall sick. So really up to individual. U will know ur body best! However, if in doubt, better don't take any unless TCM tells u to.
