peanuts — Yes during pregnancy
A note from Emily
Emily's honest take
Mama, good news! Authoritative guidelines, like those from the NHS and Mayo Clinic, confirm that you can safely eat peanuts while pregnant, as long as you don't have a peanut allergy. The previous advice to avoid peanuts during pregnancy to prevent allergies has actually been changed, as newer research suggests it doesn't help and some studies even hint it might be beneficial for your little one. Peanuts are also a good source of protein and folate, which are important nutrients during pregnancy.

As always, mama, it's a good idea to chat with your OB or healthcare provider if you have any specific concerns.
