They are very good! I ate a lot of peanuts during my pregnancy for energy. Just make sure to drink enough water after, as they can sometimes dry you out. Take care of your health, postpartum recovery takes time so build up your strength now.
Oh, I totally understand wanting to make sure every single thing you eat is safe for your little miracle! Peanuts are absolutely wonderful and packed with folate, as long as you aren't allergic. Enjoy them with a happy heart, dear.
Peanuts are great for protein and folates. When my morning sickness was at its worst and I couldn't stomach heavy meals, a handful of roasted peanuts was one of the few things that didn't make me throw up. Just don't overeat them as they can cause gas.
Yes, peanuts are quite healthy, but I'd suggest checking with your hospital nutritionist during your next visit. At my clinic, the dietician gave me a customized chart that included a handful of soaked peanuts daily. It's always best to get expert advice.
Yes, peanuts are excellent for protein and folic acid. Just eat them in moderation—a handful a day is more than enough. Avoid the heavily salted packaged ones and stick to roasted or boiled ones at home.
