Zataria multiflora is one of the plants that has become popular due to its suitable compounds. Pregnancy is a high-risk period in which the consumption of substances that affect the number and sex of the neonate can cause disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of thyme consumption during pregnancy on the number and sex of births of Wistar rats. This study was performed on 32 female Wister rats weighing 210±10g and 6 month’s y/o who were randomly divided into 4 equal groups. Zataria multiflora Hydro alcoholic extract was prepared by distillation and different concentrations (400, 800, 1000 mg / kg / day) were administered by gavage during pregnancy. The control group, only received normal food and water. After birth, the number and sex of newborns were calculated. Findings were analyzed by SPSS software using one-way analysis of variance. The results showed a significant decrease in the total number of births and the number of births of male infants in the study groups. There was no significant difference in the number of live and dead infants and the number of female infants in the study groups. Consumption of thyme during pregnancy reduces the number of births and births of male rats, so precautions should be taken when using it during pregnancy.
