Jennz, that's exactly what frightens me. I'm terrified that I've increased my child's risk of peanut anaphylaxis through my own ignorance

All I can do now is avoid peanuts and peanut products until I see my OB next week, I guess.]]> Thu, 31 May 2007 11:55:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7888&PID=153152&title=peanuts-in-pregnancy#153152 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7888&PID=153032&title=peanuts-in-pregnancy#153032 Author: Spudling

I was pregnant with DD in the UK, and over there they really go on about no peanuts during pregnancy. In fact, I found I got more s*** for eating peanuts than I did when I had a drink of wine.

I ate peanuts and peanut butter through out both preg's as there are no allergies in our families.
The best I could find out at the time was that they just don't know if you eating peanuts would affect bubs in your tum, so recommend you to stay clear]]> Thu, 31 May 2007 08:24:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7888&PID=153032&title=peanuts-in-pregnancy#153032 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7888&PID=153013&title=peanuts-in-pregnancy#153013 Author: Jennz

If you or your DH have (you can extend it to your parents and siblings if you want to be cautious) food allergies, eczema or asthma it is recommended that you avoid peanuts during pregnancy- including peanut butter, peanut sauces etc.

I have a child who has Peanut anaphylaxis (plus numerous other food and environmental allergies)- I did absolutely everything that I was supposed to when pregnant with her. My Mum has asthma and I get eczema so I avoided peanuts during my entire pregnancy with her, I also exclusivly breastfed for as long as I could which is supposed to help minimise the chance of food allergies and she still has hers.

In saying that, I am still not eating anything with peanuts in it for this pregnancy. It is absolutely terrifying living with a child with a deadly food allergy- you are in constant fear all the time and its not something I would ever wish for anyone and if not eating peanuts for a few months minimises the chances of this child not having to live with it then it seems like such a small sacrifice.]]> Thu, 31 May 2007 03:01:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7888&PID=153013&title=peanuts-in-pregnancy#153013 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7888&PID=152952&title=peanuts-in-pregnancy#152952 Author: peachy

I am not eating peanuts. I discussed this with my GP prior to TTC. There are some studies that show links between maternal allergies (any sort) and nut allergies (in the child) when peanuts are consumed during pregnancy and breast feeding.

I decided to avoid nuts because it is easy enough to do if you are aware - like avoiding alcohol and sushi really.

However, if I had not known to discuss this in advance, and I had not stopped prior to concieveing, I would not be beating myself up over it now as the research is relatively young and the risks relatively low.]]> Wed, 30 May 2007 15:37:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7888&PID=152814&title=peanuts-in-pregnancy#152814 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7888&PID=152793&title=peanuts-in-pregnancy#152793 Author: kabe

Despite the name, peanuts are not actually nuts - they are legumes (beans). Cashew and pistachio nuts are not nuts either but seeds. Gosh, I'm begining to sound geeky. Not sure if this makes any difference - I have hever heard of the need to avoid peanuts either

This is a weird one. I'm not allergic to anything, but my DF is allergic to brazil nuts, hazel nuts, macadamia nuts, almonds etc (all the sweet nuts). But he can eat peanuts, cashew nuts and pistachio nuts.

I am trying to avoid them all. But it's gonna be a wait and see anyway when bubba is born.

I agree with peachy - everything in moderation. I craved peanut butter on toast a lot during my MS stage and I thought, dammit, if its the only thing I can keep down I'm going to eat it! I asked a doctor at work about this, and he said there was some evidence to suggest an overload of nuts in pregnancy can lead to an allergy, but I think you would have to eat a hell of a lot of them. In saying that, my sister, too, ate a lot of peanut butter when pregnant and her eldest girl has a sensitivity to peanuts, but not a full blown allergy (she just comes up in hives). Luck of the draw, I say. I mean, think about it, when our mothers were pregnant and didn't know all this stuff or even have scans, and ate whatever they wanted, and it wasn't a big deal!

Phew, rant over (this hit a nerve with me for some reason!)]]> Wed, 30 May 2007 14:54:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7888&PID=152777&title=peanuts-in-pregnancy#152777 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7888&PID=152741&title=peanuts-in-pregnancy#152741 Author: YvetteandElla

I think there is some studies that say eating peanuts during pregnancy may cause some kids to have peanut allergies but I dont know that it is a hard and fast rule. Maybe if you have allergies yourslef, you are at higher risk of having kids with allergies so you might want to be more cautious.

it hasnt been a huge prob for me as i am not a great nut fan but in saying that if there is a bowl of peanuts sitting there I wouldnt be able to help myself.]]> Wed, 30 May 2007 13:43:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7888&PID=152729&title=peanuts-in-pregnancy#152729 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7888&PID=152725&title=peanuts-in-pregnancy#152725 Author: peachy

Everything in moderation in my opinion! O.k if you eat peanuts at every meal, maybe its a no-no, but seriously to not eat peanuts at all, do you know how many products actually contain peanuts or have been processed on the same equipment as other products containing peanuts!

I LOVE peanut butter, but only indulge once a week, if that!
