    Lightbulb Is Flaxseed's in bread okay to eat when your pregnant?

    Hi,

    I've been eating this awesome bread that contains flaxseed's. I am now worried after doing some research that the phytoestrogens can be a negative. Help please!

    Thanks in advance.

    Ive heard that doctors recommend not to have flaxseed oil in pregnancy as it interferes with oestrogen metabolism and other hormones in the body. But the flaxseeds in bread should be fine
