Is poppy seed safe during pregnancy?

Eating habits during pregnancy change, and a pregnant woman's diet has certain principles and limitations. It is no longer true that you need to eat for two, nor is it true that if you want to be slim after pregnancy, you need to follow a diet and eat only fruits and vegetables. Not even the dreaded nuts or mushrooms may harm you during pregnancy. A balanced diet and everything in moderation is essential. Excluding alcohol, raw or uncooked meat products, unpasteurized dairy products, seafood, large amounts of refined sugar (sweets). You should also avoid smoking. What about poppy seeds? Is it appropriate to consume poppy seeds during pregnancy?

Many mothers ask whether poppy seeds are harmful during pregnancy. Rumors that poppy is an opiate and dangerous for pregnant women are also widely spread on the Internet. Less is said about the fact that it contains more calcium than cow's milk. Calcium is very important for the body of a pregnant woman and the fetus. Poppy can be considered a potential allergen, just like nuts, strawberries or bananas. However, if you do not have a problem with allergies to specific foods, there is no reason to avoid them during pregnancy. And that also applies to poppy seeds. The body goes through certain hormonal changes during pregnancy, and new allergies can appear during pregnancy. After eating the poppy seed cake, try to see if you experience any allergic reactions, if not, feel free to enjoy poppy seeds during pregnancy.

It is also recommended by several mothers in discussions and forums. Some mothers say that it was during pregnancy that they fell in love with poppy seeds and it did not harm them in any way. Other mothers have stated that it can be a strong allergen, but they still say that they had no problems with it during pregnancy. Women agree in the forums that there is no need to explicitly limit something in the diet, as long as digestive problems or allergic reactions do not appear.
