Feta cheese is not harmful to an unborn child in any way. Actually, the calcuim in cheese is good for the mother and the baby. But many cheeses are high in sodium, so if you are on a low sodium diet, check with your doctor before eating it, or anything else high in sodium. Feta cheese could be harmful to a pregnancy. There is the possibility of spontaneous abortion if the cheese contains Listeria. Soft or semi-soft cheeses made from unpasteurized milk has a higher likelihood of being contaminated with the bacteria.

Answer 2

while wanting to have a healthy diet during pregnancy it does not mean you can not eat normal foods. If you crave it and had no problems before pregnancy you should be fine. and it does not need to be cooked! go ahead poot it in a salad! Pregnancy should be an enjoyable time not a punishment. If you take good care of MOM you take good care of Baby!
