Justin almost had a heart attack
I was making my coffee and reached for the agave nectar...justin comes flying into the kitchen "NO! what are you doing???? that's just as bad as honey!" and rips it from my hands...
apparently his hormones are out of control as well lol
and FYI, agave nectar isn't great for pregnant girls but not for the reason honey is! apparently it stimulates menstrual activity, so in your first trimester, you should avoid it.

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: Justin almost had a heart attack
Ha ha!
I actually didn't know honey was bad for you during pregnancy, I thought it was just bad for infants.
Well, good thing Amye GBCNed, b/c I used agave nectar all the time while I was pregnant.
Yeah, when you're pregnant, it's like nothing is "safe," but few things are actually proven "unsafe." With sugar substitutes, I just feel like you can't win and have to go with real sugar b/c there's always something wrong with everything else. Well, until now I thought agave was OK, so I thought that was one of the easier dilemmas to solve. Oh well. I'll file it away in my brain for #2.

Why is honey bad?! I might've had some when I was pregnant! I just thought babies couldn't have it!
It's really cute how involved and concerned he is! But it may be a curse -- be sure he knows that you're allowed to eat ice cream, before he throws that out too
This made me laugh
Yeah I totally LOL!
I'm glad I'm not the only one!
Phil would never have had a clue what I could and couldn't eat if I didn't tell him, bless his heart. It would have been a LONG 9 months if he had! lol. He also was a bit overprotective.
Yes, make sure he knows that ice cream is still ok! LOL!
It's so nice he's so involved, I have a feeling that can be a blessing and curse. ;-) I hope DH is the same way though.
Wives Unscripted
This was my thought as well. It will be a LONG 9 months if the ice cream goes out the window!

dude, I've been eating honey like its no one's business. My midwife actually suggested that I eat/put local honey into my foods because my eyes have been so incredibly itchy for the past few months. I've never suffered from allergies before and we're not sure if that is what is causing this (and wont know until after I have the baby to see whether this sticks around or not), but yeah. Its not fun.
Plus honey is yummy.
Generally speaking though, you should be fine to eat most things. If you are worried, then of course cut it out. But if done/used in moderation, you should be good to go.
If it helps, I drink coffee daily (though I have gone down to half caff) and have had sushi a few times and eat turkey sammies every few weeks. My baby boy is developing just fine.
Ladies-
Honey isnt bad for you while you are pregnant- "Yes, it's safe as long as the honey is pasteurized."
