  You only need to avoid nuts if you or your OH have an allergy. I have been eating nutella and peanut butter like its going out of fashion!
  
  I also read some research saying since pregnant women were advised to avoid nuts there has been a massive increase in nut allergies because babies are not getting immunity to them in the womb.
  
  By the way very jealous you have seashells, soooo yummy!!

  I know some people poo-poo research from certain newpapers so I found the same information from 3 sources...

  Hi,
  
  I've read too to only aviod eating nuts if there is an allergy in the close family, so I'm sure you'll be ok with 4 guliyan choccies (ummmm - lucky lady - we've got a box at home, but I've gone off chocolate so oh is munching them)
  
  My new 'stop me feeling hungry' food is peanut butter and jam butties (foul I know, but they do the trick.

  I have been eating them almost every day for weeks arls, I even added cheese once which was surprisingly nice but then I went too far adding chocolate spread so I went back to just jam and peanut butter.

  Peanut butter and cheese sarnies are fab Miss I! Hubby introduced them to me when we first got together... have eaten quite a few since I got my bfp!
  
  I can see how chocolate spread is possibly taking it too far though. Have you tried peanut butter on a celery stick, now that is also tasty - and one of your five a day

  I don't like celery which is a shame that would be a great way to eat more fruit and veg lol.
  The problem was the chocolate spread and jam, I don't like the 2 together. I don't like chocolate and fruit together.

  I am not a huge fan of chocolate and fruit either, those chocolate covered raisins are just not right.
