Can i take honey during pregnancy?

I love having honey, especially with my morning tea or sometimes just a spoonful. I was wondering if it's safe to consume honey regularly throughout pregnancy? I want to be careful with everything I eat.

I regularly had honey with milk during my pregnancy and had a very smooth normal delivery. It's a great natural sweetener, go for it!

Yes, honey is absolutely safe during pregnancy. Just buy a good pasteurized brand.

Yes dear, honey is completely safe for you and baby. I used to mix it with warm water and lemon for acidity, works like magic.

Haha yes, you can have honey! Just don't give it to the baby after birth. Right now, enjoy it in your ginger tea to fight morning sickness.
