I've never heared it mentioned on the "to avoid lists"....lots of vegans etc drink it so I wouldn't worry

All the foods I've been told to eat (like wholemeal bread, pasta, potatoes etc) I can't eat at the best of times - they bloated me before and had terrible cramps, now I'm literally in agony if I eat them.
Yet things I love like broccoli, grapes, cabbage I can no longer eat since becoming pregnant.
I've just reached week 13 and am finally getting an appetite back and have (finally) managed to eat my fave veg - broccoli. Did anyone else have issues with normal, healthy veg/fruit?

I think sprouts sit around for days sprouting in a warm wet environment which I guess isn't so good for bacteria - anyway I deffo I heard no beansprouts. I'm avoiding them anyway.

loulizr, I can't stand garlic anymore! the smell makes me think somethings gone off. Weird.

Anyone know if eating something on this list one time during their pregnancy will cause any problems? I ate some honey roasted peanuts last night ( 3 oz ) and my OH has pretty bad asthma.

There's nothing to suggest that one helping of peanuts will do any harm, but it's probably best to avoid them from now on. My hubby has bad asthma and we both have cat allergies, I also have hayfever, so I've been steering clear of nuts like the plague since day one!

One of hubby's distant relatives has a very severe nut allergy, actually his cousin does too, but this distant relative's mum ate all sorts of nuts by the barrel when she was pregnant. Doctors reckon it was the quantity of nuts she consumed that triggered the allergy.

Yeah, I didn't really know about the nuts thing.

My OH has peanut allergies as well. When I asked him whether his father has asthma and his mom ate peanuts, he said yes to both.

Well, now I will stay away from peanuts. They just looked really good when I went to the store, and had no idea that eating those with OH having asthma (and cat allergies!!) would possibly make my bean get peanut allergies.

If your OH has a true peanut allergy, do you think you should be eating them? It could make him very ill if he's in contact with you anytime afterwards....even just a bit on your clothes could trigger an attack.
