Hey, anyone know what the deal is with
eating peanuts while preggers. I am sooo
craving them...but I have been told on a
few occasions to becareful because it can
cause nut allergies in baby/kids???
Anyone had any experience with this?

ya...i been doing a little bit of reading
online...so dont know how credible the
websites are. But it does say to avoid
them, ESPECIALLY if you, the dad or even
anyone in the family has allergies.
No one in my family has allergies but Iam
still worried...coz i love peanut butter
and peanuts.
All other nuts are ok.
It is also suggested to avoid
honey...while pregnant and until baby is
greater then 1 yr old due to the spores
and they can cause botulism...so sucks.

I've been avoiding any kind of nuts,
peanuts, cadburys wholenut, galaxy
hazelnut, snickers bars, chocolate peanuts
etc. Even tho i have'nt got any allergies
in my family i would rather not risk that
to my unborn baby.
Oh and i heard you should'nt have runny
eggs either because that can be bad for
the baby too.
So roll on 6 weeks and i can enjoy a big
fat bar of cadburys wholenut!

i eat peanut butter on toast every
weekend. i guess it's too late to change
anything now but allergies are pretty much
non existant in my family. if anything,
we have lactose intolerance, but even that
is minor. my doctor never mentioned it so
i hope it's okay.

MMmmm I've been thinking about this
recently because I love nuts plus I have
been craving them. Apparently it can cause
allergies, eczema and something else which
I can't remember in babies, but generaly
only if there is a family history.
I have a far away family history like my
aunts children all have eczema so I don't
want to risk it but I do miss nuts

when i spoke to my midwife about this she
said that if you have a family history of
nut allergies then it's best to avoid them
tottaly but if you don't then it's best to
limit the amount you eat
