Is PEANUT BUTTER safe to eat during pregnancy???

[Honesty]

I'm craving a peanut butter and jelly sandwich but have read on some web sites that it's not safe to eat is this true???

 

[mommyof3co]

It's fine to eat

If there are no allergys in your family it should be alright but there is evidence to suggest that eating peanuts could increase the chance of LO developing an allergy. I avoided nuts during my pregnancy because i have a slight allergy to them. You could check with your MW see what she says

If you or your OH are not allergic then your fine hun. Well thats what my doc told me. Eat away xx

Perfectly fine, was one of my cravings last time

Thanks ladies for the responses...

It better be because we go through a jar a week in my house!

OH GEEZ! I sure hope it is! I've been eating it on bananas, bread, and celery like crazy.

I love food topics

Mm. I love a bagel with peanut butter covered in marshmallows, toasted, as a treat! I've been wondering the same thing about peanut butter. No history of allergies to it though. I figured ladies back before they came out with all these rules had healthy babies and I'm sure they ate peanut butter and other things suggested not to!

Mmmmm I've never thought about peanut butter on a bagel before... I think I'm gonna try it with mallow fluff! Thanks for the idea!

Oh yeah and as long as there's no family history of peanut allergies, your LO shouldn't get allergies form you eating it while preggers.

I ate peanut butter all the way through my first pregnancy, couldn't get enough of it. Although try not to eat too much of it, but I think it's perfectly fine in pregnancy.

mmm im scoffing toast doused in peanut butter for my brekkie..mmmmm!

 

[ProudMommy26]

Oh and reading this has made me very hungry *searches the kitchen for food*

 

[Flowermommy]

With dd1 it was a complete no-no. With dd2 it was perfectly fine. With dd3 it was ok unless there was anyone with an allergy or eczema in the immediate family. This time it's ok again as long as there's no allergy. Phew! Thank goodness though, since it's one of my favourite things to eat ever

I'm also having it slathered on toast for my brekkie, now the nausea has passed...for the time being

 

[lollylou1]

i was told as long as neither parent have nut allergies its fine to eat! however peanut butter and jelly on a sandwich sounds awful LOL

My OH has a severe nut allergy and my midwife and doctor told me I didn't need to avoid eating nuts

Who knows anymore?!

 

[Vixie]
