Haan na, popcorn is completely safe to eat during pregnancy. Just avoid the heavy butter or cheese ones from the theater. Normal home-cooked popcorn with a little salt is very nice, ho na.

I can only speak from my wife's experience during her pregnancy. She used to eat lightly salted home-popped corn when she had mild nausea and it really helped settle her stomach. It's a great light snack.

Yes, popcorn is a whole grain and perfectly safe. Just try to avoid microwaved bags as they contain extra preservatives and artificial flavors.

I completely understand how stressful it is to double-check every single food item when you are pregnant. Don't worry, popcorn is absolutely fine and actually rich in fiber. Just keep the salt levels moderate.
