One of my friend said that eating eggs during pregnancy specially in first few months is not good for baby? is it true?

Whenever doctor said that you can eat everything expect Raw Food. so its mean Soup is also forbidden?

Soup isn't raw. Eggs are fine (and good!) if cooked.

Avoid sushi made with raw fish and avoid unpasteurized cheeses.

Eggs are great during pregnancy...this is assuming you are buying eggs in a carton from the refrigerated section of your local grocery store and not directly picking them from under a hen! Eggs have omegas and protein which are greatly beneficial for you and the child. Store bought eggs are pasteurized and safe to consume.

Raw fruits and vegetables are high in nutritional content so consuming them is great as well.

Soups are wholesome and comforting and nutritious.

So the only "raw" I'd stay away from are undercooked meats and chicken and fish.

is it true that you should have separate cutting/chopping boards for handling raw meats (prior to cooking them, of course), and everything else?
i'm wondering how careful you should be?

Eggs are very good IF THEY ARE COOKED THOROUGHLY - U must NOT eat soft egg yolk, it should b cooked so its firm. This is bcos raws eggs sometimes contain salmonella.

Also keep away from liver, soft UNPASTEURISED cheeses and cured meats.

^ I couldn't resist licking the cookie bowl the other day.

I am a bad mommy. :sigh:


SGC: I separate them when using them, but post-dishwasher, I figure it's all the same.

stick to egg whites, i guess.

You should be careful with chicken especially if you are using a wooden block/board as the juices can get absorbed by the grain of the wood. In that case, wash your board with hot soapy water several times and dry.

i use seperate ones
after using, i spray with lysol and then soak in hot soapy water
and then dishwasher
can never be too careful i think!

sometime i use same but i use plastic borad and after meat i wash it properly but i am not too much caring. Anyway i will be carefull now.

By asking about soup i mean that in soup we use raw eggs.. hay na? so is it ok?

i really like to have an egg in breakfast not daily but 2-3 times a week but now due to frnd advise i didnt take even one from last 2 months.

Sahar02

^ If you put the egg in boiling water for soup, isn't it cooked?


Just cook your eggs! You can eat them! They are good for you!

Or by "raw" eggin soup u mean dropping it in and stirring it...like in chicken corn soups ???

Ure also supposed to stay away from deli meats (turkey chicken etc) in the early months...

Sahar02

^ That's right. Forgot about that one!

Janat ki Talash

AnjanaSaDil

i heard your also recommended to stay away from tuna....even if its fully cooked. i guess its just higher in mercury levels compared to other fish..or something like that
