31 weeks pregnant. ate basil pesto today. read after it may not be safe during pregnancy to eat basil pesto. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Some people say that large amounts of basil might induce miscarriage in early pregnancy but millions of women have eaten lots of pesto during pregnancy with no ill effects. I see no reason to be concerned. See http://www.Mothering.Com/community/t/844224/pesto for a discussion...
