Can I eat peanuts?

There's no history (as far as I know!) of any peanut allergy in my family so can I eat peanuts during pregnancy or not?

Apparently not as it can cause allergies later on, no idea how though. Real pain as well as all i'm craving is dry roasted peanuts arggg there i go again...

when I was PG in 2003, advice was to avoid if any history of nut allergy,exczema or hayfever in yours or your partners family

I ate peanut butter throughout my pregnancy with dd and she has eaten peanut butter sandwiches from about 8 months with no ill effects. I am pg again and eat peanut butter everyday on my muffins for breakfast! All the advice I have ever read and seen says that you only need avoid nuts if there is any allergies, eczema and/or asthma in your immediate family.

I wouldn't just in case!

A nut allergy is too extreme - wouldn't risk it if i were you. (mine have nut allergies and its no joke)
