Sure, sounds like an issue. There's a lot of peanut caution (or hysteria) around these days.
(Could we add Mr. Peanut as a PF?)

Should preganant women avoid peanuts?
The conclusions from two recent studies have come out warning all pregnant women to avoid eating peanuts because it may increase their newborn's chances of developing an array of problems like asthma and allergies.
Ann Curry and Nancy Snyderman discuss:
There are some who caution that only pregnant women with a genetic history of peanut allergies should avoid eating peanuts, as peanuts are actually a very good source of protein, with the good kind of cholesterol and other nutrients and they're affordable...
Medical News Today:
New scientific research has found that most women who follow general medical precautionary advice and avoid peanuts when pregnant may be doing so unnecessarily as the advice does not apply to them. The standard medical advice - given by most GPs and health professionals such as midwives is based on a 1998 UK Government issued precautionary notice for women with a family history of atopy (asthma, eczema or hay fever) to avoid eating peanuts during pregnancy and breast-feeding as this could increase the chances of peanut sensitization in children.
