Stupid question...

I have really started craving popcorn lately.  I know that popcorn is fine to eat when you are pregnant, but someone told me that the buttered microwave kind is bad for the baby.  Is that true??  I know it's not the healthiest to begin with with all that butter, but I just need to know if it will be dangerous to the baby.  I really want to give in to that buttery popcorn craving!!  Thanks!

    I've never heard that. I ate popcorn a lot with DS#1 and he's fine. I like airpopped corn but I don't have a popper and I got rid of my Whirly-Pop. Guess it's just microwaved for me!

    I've probably had about 30 of the mini bags of popcorn since BFP. But I also eat deli meats and drink Starbucks Soy Lattes... so consider me a bad mommy Sad or a MeanMommy (hee hee)

    I've also had popcorn, coffee, , peanut butter,  diet coke, deli turkey meat, and some shrimp!!

    if it's not crack or beer, I think it's fine is doses!

    I'm sure microwave popcorn can't be much worse than any other packaged snack like chips or whatever. The key is moderation.

    I actually prefer the old fashion popcorn though. I make on the stove in my wok pan with just a little canola oil. It works great and is healthier than the microwave kind.

    Hmm <---- Yeah, that's the look I'd be giving whoever told you that strange thing about popcorn. I've NEVER heard anything remotely like this. Besides, you'd probably get full from eating the popcorn from all the fiber and how much it expands in your stomach if you're drinking liquid along with it before you could do any harm. Eat away!
