I personally havn't paid any attention to the peanut thing! In fact i've just bought a big bag of them lol
My midwife and everyone else seemed to think the evidence against peanuts was so uncertain that it'd be silly not to eat them
I've been eating everything in moderation and the only things i say are definate no's are alcohol and cigarettes
Thankx for posting this and lets hope now you know about it you can prevent anymore reactions

Sorry this happened to your LO Keely.

I've been eating more nuts than usual, mainly because I'm hungrier and trying to find healthy snacks - also craving peanut butter! From what I've read recently abstaining can do more harm than good and it's the old cliche again but true - "it never did our mums any harm.."! xx

I've been eating peanuts. I read that since they started to advise pregnant women not to eat peanuts there have been more allergies than ever. My mum ate loads of nuts while pregnant (she still does).
