Emily's honest take
It's understandable to wonder about honey, especially since we know it's not safe for babies under one year old. However, for expectant mamas, leading health organizations like the NHS, ACOG, and CDC confirm that honey is safe. Your mature digestive system can handle any *Clostridium botulinum* spores that might be in honey, and these spores and their toxins do not cross the placenta to reach your baby. This applies to both raw and pasteurized honey. Just remember, honey is still a form of sugar, so it's best to enjoy it in moderation as part of a balanced diet, especially if you're managing gestational diabetes.
Always check with your OB or healthcare provider if you have any specific concerns about your diet during pregnancy.
