Six hours before I gave birth to my son, our labor and delivery nurse started choking.
The cause, we later discovered, was a jar of peanuts that my unsuspecting husband had cracked open for a snack. Our fast-acting (and highly allergic) nurse rushed out of the room and made it to her EpiPen in time. She was OK, to our immense relief, and we managed to not endanger anyone else’s life that night.
But, the scary incident made me want to keep my baby away from peanuts forever.
Don’t do that.
