    Nope it is not. Flax can cause penile deformities in infant males. That is VIA 2big when I asked the same question when I first got preggo!

      Well it sure is a good thing that I asked you first. Shoot, I was really looking forward to a nice muffin. I am no longer on my diet, but I wouldnt dare eat a regular corn muffin!!

        I use the low carb whole grain breads which I LOOOOOVE! Especially Pepperide farms. It has the little sunflower seeds in it and I just LOVE it! Are you following Atkins Maintenance right now and tracking your carbs? I try to stay at 80 a day which is my level to maintain.

          I also just read on Pregnancy.org that it is on the list of foods and herbs that are "uterine stimulant" and should be avoided because of that reason.
