I had horrible issues while pregnant with M.  Flaxseed was my savior.  I put it in most of my baked goods, snuck it in most of our dinners, apple sauce, yogurt, oatmeal.  Never made too much a difference with the flavor, but too much and it turns a little nutty.

I still use it from time to time.

ditto!! Mine is ground....  "Cold Milled Ground" gives you the highest Omega 3s.... costco has a good one for $9bucks!

I also never used more than a sprinkle for single serving stuff and no more than a Tablespoon 2 at the max for a full recipe.

Good reminder! I have a big jar I bought from Costco that I almost threw out in my decluttering frenzy this weekend. Lord knows E & I could use the help. From the sound of things, DH probably could, too. Ha, TMI.

I add it to my oatmeal and its a big ingredient in my lactation cookies

I love the flavor of ground flax. I have the Cosco one too. I put in my morning cereal. I eat a lot of fiber and I don't think my baby is particularly gassy. Maybe she is just used to it since i do it every day. good for the baby's brain too.

Hmm, a good friend of mine was told by her doc to stop taking flaxseed while TTC because it cleans out your uterus and can cause miscarriage.  I have no idea the truth to that, I think I'll do a little googling.
