Member Comments About this Article
"As long as you are not allergic to peanuts then they are not "off bounds"." -- CYNNIEH
"FWIW, my doctor had no problem with peanuts or peanut butter, since nobody in our family has any nut or food allergies.

Good thing, too, because the one thing I *have* craved was peanut butter on toasted whole wheat bread! (There was also the matter of the peanut butter and bread and butter pickle sandwich that my husband's never let me live down...but it was only once, I promise!)" -- LIONORS
"I just asked my doctor again about peanuts, and she stated that almonds were a better choice and that limiting them to 1-2 times per week would be wise as well. I had just read an article about a study that peanuts can increase your child's chance of asthma, and our first daughter is showing signs of wheezing and asthma symptoms regularly, so this was something I was very concerned about with my second pregnancy!" -- STENDRICH
