Peanuts etc

Hi girls,
Is it bad to eat peanuts/almonds/cashews etc. I have been eating them from time to time and wondered whether it was bad/good for baby? Any advice?

as with most everything else when pregnant, moderation...

I eat all of them....I did with Paige too.
Some say if you eat them whilst pregnant it can set off allergies later in life....Who knows?

The health gurus say one thing one year then another thing the next!!
My theory too...everything in moderation!

My Mum was told by her Dr she should eat heaps of peanuts when she was pregnant with me (I cant remeber the reason), and I have had asthma and allergies my whole life. It might have nothing to do with why I have asthma etc, but researchers have apparently found a link between eating peanuts, and your baby having allergies. But my baby might be more likely to have allergies since I do,...who knows! (But Im not eating anything with peanuts, I hardly do anyway!)
Like others have said, the health Gurus always find something that u should not have, we wouldnt eat anything if we believed every thing they said!
I agree with moderation!

I've only heard that peanuts can be trouble if you happen to ba carrying a child with a severe peanut allergy!!  That said, I haven't avoided them and nuts are just good for you... especially almonds (which I've made a point of eating every now and then). 

OMG I am also hanging out for Sushi - I loved eating it before I was pregnant and have decided after baby is born I am going to have a big plate of the stuff! My husband makes me jealous cause he often eats it for lunch

I told hubby that as soon as ella is out he better have a ham sandwich on hand lol

Peanuts are onlya risk if you have a strong family history of allergies, or have already had a child with allergies. I am a peanut-free zone this pregnancy because Maya was allergic to dairy, egg, soy and peanut.
That said, there is no evidence that foods actually cross the placental barrier in a form which may cause allergies in an infant later on. It is far more important to avoid 'risk' foods (in my case dairy, egg and peanut) when breastfeeding, as teh allergens are passed thru breastmilk. Learnt this the hard way when Maya got very sick - she was getting traces of dairy thru my breastmilk.

Ohhhhhhhhhh Salmon and Avocado Sushi......great now I'm hungry. One of my support team better have some on hand when bubs pops out!!

hmmmmm *drools*...
