I normally don't eat peanut butter, so I just went with the cravings while pregnant.</p> <p>We don't have any family history of allergies, so I felt fine about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-eat-peanuts-while-pregnant#post-82572 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 02:09:40 +0000 loveisstrange 82572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PB and crackers is my go-to nighttime snack.

Like most pregnancy advice, it's changed over the years. There was a brief period where they said to avoid, but then it seemed to cause an increase in allergies due to lack of exposure, so now they say not to avoid it, but I don't know that it's important enough to intentionally eat something that you wouldn't be eating anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-eat-peanuts-while-pregnant#post-82384 Sun, 26 Feb 2012 03:08:39 +0000 joyjoy 82384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting. I don't eat pb at all (don't like it), but I was just thinking the other day that maybe I should try to eat some once in a while so that LO doesn't end up with an allergy. But you're supposed to avoid them so as not to create allergies? That seems counter-intuitive to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-eat-peanuts-while-pregnant#post-82383 Sun, 26 Feb 2012 02:17:50 +0000 mynoahbear 82383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate pb toast every morning during my 2nd trimester. Then I heard you're supposed to avoid pb so I stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-eat-peanuts-while-pregnant#post-82327 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 20:39:03 +0000 pastemoo 82327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat pb often--didn't even think about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-eat-peanuts-while-pregnant#post-81221 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 00:03:35 +0000 lemondrop 81221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we don't have a family history of allergies, so I went for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-eat-peanuts-while-pregnant#post-81203 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 23:22:29 +0000 lovehoneybee 81203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much all I was able to eat (and hold down) in the first trimester were peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and oatmeal. My appetite has returned, but I still have peanut butter on toast as part of my breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-eat-peanuts-while-pregnant#post-81174 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 22:36:12 +0000 calsmom 81174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually had two pb&amp;j sandwiches before 10am this morning!

What is the deal with this craving?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-eat-peanuts-while-pregnant#post-81159 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 22:22:21 +0000 MsMamaBear 81159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, all the time. Seems like eating it would prevent the allergy...but that's just my random thought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-eat-peanuts-while-pregnant#post-81095 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:38:02 +0000 cupcakemama 81095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time! The thinking now is that exposure helps prevent/minimise allergies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-eat-peanuts-while-pregnant#post-81093 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:36:24 +0000 mediagirl 81093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL! The first time I heard about this whole "avoiding peanuts" thing was when Princess Catherine (ah, Kate) refused something peanuty at an event she was attending. It started the rumor mill. I eat peanut butter without worry! If it's not on my OB's do not eat list, you better believe I'm enjoying it if I want it! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-eat-peanuts-while-pregnant#post-81081 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:33:30 +0000 Bluebonnet 81081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat PB all the time - its one of my favorite foods! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-eat-peanuts-while-pregnant#post-81072 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:30:58 +0000 winniebee 81072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time!

I've never heard of this!

I had just a little bit but avoided them for the most part. I knew someone who swore that her kids are both highly allergic due to her consumption of nuts while pregnant. Not that it can be proven but I got paranoid. I also avoided them while nursing my older one. But this time, I'm not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-did-you-eat-peanuts-while-pregnant#post-80867 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:24:38 +0000 Maysprout 80867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time.
