I do hope so as that's the only kind of honey I ever eat!

I know you shouldn't give babies honey, but I hadn't ever heard that it wasn't pregnancy safe..

Ok, thanks to both of you. I'm gonna go for it. I have been craving biscuits and honey

Time to make the biscuits.
ABSOLUTELY! Local raw honey is not only good for your immune system, but honey is a catalyst that allows for absorption of iron... so you may be craving honey because your iron levels need increasing... I know during my 1st & 2nd trimesters I *craved* honey, and would keep it in my bathroom--a squirt a day would do me and it really helped with my energy levels, etc.
Go have yourself some honey & biscuits! That sounds SO GOOD!!!

Dreamer - Thank you! I would not be surprised if I was iron deficient. I have a history of it. I ate more biscuits and honey than I care to admit to

actually honey may contain botulism spores, and while adults digestive systems' are mature enough to deal with it, babies cant and they can get really sick.
i only eat raw honey!

Thanks, that's good to know. I come from a family with major respiratory allergies, so I was aware of the one issue, not the others.
I'm big into honey. I eat it, put it in my soap. I use the wax in my soap, and around the house for a lot of things. In Michigan I made wine with the honey. It's legal there.

So does that mean it's still safe to have during pregnancy?

It's safe for us to eat it, since our stomachs are able to tolerate it... even when we're pregnant.

(You already know, though that it's not safe for babies...) Also, thinking back... I remember asking if there was anything I could do about my allergies, and someone suggested honey. My ob had nothing against it, so I tried it and it WORKED! Not... alot, but it still worked! And it's so yummy.

My understanding is that it was the COOKED honey that had coud harbor botulism spores and that raw honey has the antibacterial properties to keep botulism away ??????
