Honey is safe during pregnancy, no issue. I used to take it with warm water for throat. Just dont overdo it because its still sugar, especially if your weight or sugar is being watched.

It's safe but keep the quantity in check. I had to count my sugar so even honey was limited for me. If your sugar is normal a little is totally fine.

Honey is fine for you beta, my generation used it for cough and sore throat. Just remember it's only for the mother, never give honey to baby before one year. A spoon in warm water is soothing.

We always had honey at home for small colds. It helped my throat a lot in pregnancy. I just kept it to a small amount and that worked nicely for me.

Yes safe for mom, just not too much. Lovely for a scratchy throat.
