I eat cinnamon stuff regularly. Never heard pregnant ladies couldn't.....

 

[Tiffaney78]

some sites say it can cause behavior issues some say it can cause early labor i guess, But I'm only seven weeks pregnant and I want coffee cake! Like I said I need to just listen to what the doctor tells me and leave the internet alone before I make mysel crazy!

I have never heard of cinnamon causing any problems. I would eat the coffee cake personally.

 

[aniauk83]

Thats probably the best hehe. I feel the same, the more i read the more i am getting crazy lol

I don't know about the problems of cinnamon, but I'd like to personally thank you for making me want coffee cake now!

cinnamon is on the list of stuff I was given to avoid, but I asked the MW and she said as long as it's in moderation (ie. not by the bucket load) it's fine. I love cinnamon and go to Ikea just to buy the frozen cinnamon rolls, so I was glad it wasn't a total ban

Haven't heard anything about cinnamon. But I suppose if you eat a load of anything its probably not good. I think sometimes the whole food avoidance thing gets taken to the extreme. I will see what I can find about cinnamon now I am curious????

 

[Wispyshadow]

What I read was during pregnancy not to take cinnamon supplements, such as cinnamon bark. And that it was ok to eat foods with cinnamon in them.

I've read that too, but it was specifically larger amounts. Smaller amounts are fine. I've had cinnamon several times so far in this pregnancy, including early on, and my doctor and dietitian both are aware and unconcerned.
