Thanks for that. Would be interested to hear your thoughts as you seem really knowledgeable about the topic.
I went for the "eat a normal, healthy, balanced pregnancy diet and what will be will be" option! I decided that getting the nutrition and vitamins for both of us during my pregnancy, for optimal health in all ways, was better than eliminating something for what was only a "potential" - and when I was already eliminating the big no nos in pregnancy (alcohol, caffeine, cold meats, runny eggs, soft cheeses (ie/ brie), pate, limiting tuna, etc) I decided it would be too much to add to my list. One that I had a very hard time deciding with was peanuts, and I decided that as peanut butter is a huge staple in my diet, it would be a harder thing to live without, and I would lack in some nutrition and probably make worse food choices with it gone form my diet, so I continued.
There are LOADS of food intolerances and allergies in my family - mostly mine it seems, my sister has none but her children have loads - and so I did do a lot of research on it all. As I said, in the end you can argue a good strong point for either case, and my choice was not so much an agreement with the side that says "eat it in pregnancy" as it was a decision that because neither side of the argument coudl sway me enough, I chose to eat as I normally would, if that makes sense?
