arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

so blooming confused.

bloody hell misdee, didn't realise you were pregnant. congrats (namechanger sorry)

I double checked this with my midwife at booking appt 2 weeks ago, her advice was they're fine if you or immediate family don't have allergy. I was really looking forward to munching on some as they really helped me with sickness during first two pregnancies but nope they too made me throw!! Et tu cashew

I avoided nuts in my first pregnancy as per the advice at the time, and my daughter is fine. I ate nuts in second pregnancy, as per the new advice and she is allergic to peanuts. I am now pg with the third and will be avoiding them (feel so guilty about dd2 that I might have caused her allergy )

That's just my experience.

i think it;'s fine to eat as long as no allergies in family
so in your case i would probably avoid them tbh

i ate them in all 3 of my pregnancies and none of mine are allergic, but that's only anecdotal obviously

dd4 has a nut allergy.

so thats dont eat for me then.

I eat them. I was told it was fine so long as there are no allergies in the family.

The FSA say you're fine with all nuts except peanuts if you're being super careful with family history etc.

I'm avoiding. My love of peanuts isn't that great that I would risk it.

I'm trying to avoid them as DH has an almond allergy.

I'm avoiding peanuts as DH and I have eczema, hayfever and childhood asthma between us but have been eating other kinds- in fact I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with a pistachio green baby born in a shell!

I avoided all nuts with my first (even tried to stay away from nut traces) and now my daughter is severely allergic to all nuts (had this confirmed yesterday.

I was told by my midwife to try and take in some nuts with this pregnancy and not avoid eating them.

I ate LOTS of nuts and peanut butter in my first pregnancy - and the child (almost adult now) has severe nut allergy and has to carry adrenaline. (nut allergy discovered at 8 months old).
(This pregnancy was before the government advised anything about nuts in pregnancy and when camillosan nipple cream still contained peanut oil).

I have avoided nuts in subsequent pregnancies - and have no idea if those children have an allergy or not as our house is now a nut-free zone - and I even advised the school those children must not come into contact with nuts. (which means bringing own party food on special occasions and missing some activities - like making fat balls for birds!)
I did ask the GP about getting the other children tested based on eldest childs severe allergy but he doesn't want to. Thinks I should just give them nuts to eat and see (no thanks!).

I avoided nuts and nut traces and have a peanut allergic child. I read something that said no IgE had ever been found in cord blood indicating that you can't be sensitised in utero. I don't know how big or robust the study was.

Congratulations on your pg. I'm very .
