Honey is okay in small amounts but remember its sugar, so dont overdo it. With my sugar problem i avoided it mostly. If you have any sugar concern, check the quantity with your doctor.

Yes you can have honey dear, my family used it for sore throat during pregnancy too. Pure good quality honey, in moderation. It is the baby after birth who shouldnt have it, not you.

Haan beta honey is fine for pregnant women, only babies under one year should not be given it. A spoon in warm water for cough or throat is okay. Just keep it limited as it is sugar after all.
