Can you eat cheesecake when pregnant?

Answer 1

Seafood, cooked or raw, may have teratogenic effects on your child due to the presence of Mercury in some fish. Safe fish to eat are ones which are low in mercury. The reason it is unsafe to eat eggs when pregnant is that Salmonella may be present in the eggs, and when a woman is pregnant, her immunity ability decreases so her body will not reject the growing baby inside her. Pregnant women are then more susceptible to infection from the bacteria due to their decreased ability to fight foreign organisms. Cooked eggs are safe as long as they are cooked thoroughly. No runny eggs. Pasteurized raw eggs are safe, as in store-bought eggnog. It is advisable to stay away from seafood and eggs.

Answer 2

A few years ago there was a scare about salmonella and pregnant women. Nothing was ever proven.

Whilst pregnant women find it better to avoid raw egg and unpasteurised milk (and cheese made from it), quiche is made from egg that has been cooked at over 100 degrees Celsius - high enough to kill all likely germs.

So feel free to eat quiche. Just remember that egg products may cause constipation and that constipation can happen naturally in pregnancy. If you find either to be true, you may not want to combine them, for your own comfort.
