Is pecan good for pregnancy?

Question

I enjoy eating pecans and was wondering if they are a good snack choice during pregnancy. Is pecan beneficial for pregnant women, or should I limit its consumption?

Pecans are generally considered very safe and healthy during pregnancy as they have good fats. However, since I had complications, I always recommend asking your doctor before adding new foods to your diet. Moderate amounts are usually fine.

I'm in my 3rd trimester and basically surviving on nuts and fruits because cooking feels like a marathon, haha! Pecans are great, easy to munch on, and give quick energy. Go ahead and eat them, they are totally safe.

My little toddler loves nuts now, and I ate a lot of pecans, walnuts, and almonds when I was pregnant! They are great for the baby's brain development. Just eat a handful daily, they are completely safe and delicious.

I've been reading up on fertility diets, and pecans are actually great because they contain antioxidants and healthy fats! I'm planning to add them to my daily snack bowl of mixed nuts. They are definitely good for pregnancy too!

I just bought a packet of pecans but felt a bit anxious about whether they are safe to eat raw or if I should roast them. Do any of you eat pecans daily? I read they are great for the baby, but I always overthink these things!
