There is a very comprehensive comment below here that tells you all the good things that hemp can do. Whether or not there is THC in hemp (and there shouldn't be as its not the same as MaryJ) hemp should have no more than 0.3 as a trace element TCH, whereas MaryJ as up to 20% THC. So as long as you get a reputable brand - you're right.
BUT when you're pregnant - taking any unusual food or super food that you haven't taken before - yes you should always check.
Because bottom line - you need to consider nutrition in line with what else you are taking - you need to check for CONTRAINDICATIONS which can come from allopathic (medicines) or natural substances.
So don't leave it up to a self hellp column on the web. Namely because if you get a Naturopath or other suitable nutrition advice they will give your overall condition.
The one thing that jumps out as me right now - is for example - it depends on what stage, trimester of pregnancy you are in. And the quantity and if you are taking any other foods that might impact your BLOOD flow. Hemp seeds are anti-coagulant. If you're taking Garlic or any other blood thinner you've just mega dosed yourself.
Possibly no worries if you are over first trimester. But how do we know if you have a weak uterine wall for example and may be prone to miscarriage? All things need to be considered.
What I'm saying to you is that you need to check it all out relevant to your personal - to do this see a Natural health specialist. Most health food stores have lists of them.
At the end of the holistic assessment - hemp seeds may be just the thing for you and baby... a perfect supplement because they are full of goodness. But don't leave it up to just checking one thing.
