Can you eat cottage cheese while you are pregnant?

Answer 1

Yes, cream cheese is very high in protein and keeps your mate happy while you have a bun in the oven.

AnswerYOu can eat something like Philly which is pasteurised, but not 'raw' cream cheese.

Answer 2

Soft cheeses are more likely to be made with unpasteurized milk than hard cheeses and are therefore much more likely to carry harmful bacteria, especially listeria, which can have serious effects on you and the baby. In the US however, most cheese (both soft and hard) are made from pasteurized milk, so just check the label if you're buying it in the supermarket. In a restaurant it may be harder to determine whether the cheese is pasteurized, so it's probably safer to skip the soft cheeses (especially stinky runny delicious ones such as brie and camembert). Also, there's no reason to panic if you eat some soft cheese. The chances of problems are low, so the occasional bite will be unlikely to cause problems.

Answer 4

Goats cheese is fine to eat during pregnancy as long as it is pasteurised or cooked as part of a recipe. Cheese is an important source of protein and calcium for pregnant women but certain kinds do need to be avoided. This is because some cheeses are more inclined to allow growth of bacteria, such as listeria which can harm your unborn child. It is best to avoid soft mould-ripened cheese such as Brie or Camembert and blue-veined cheeses such as Danish Blue and Stilton or any cheeses which are unpasteurised.

Other foods to avoid are:

• Liver - it may have too much vitamin A;

• Smoked salmon;

• Fish liver oil supplements such as cod liver oil;

• Raw eggs - ensure the yolk and white are solid when having a boiled or fried egg and eat only manufactured mayonnaise;

• Undercooked meat (even cooked until pink is not cooked enough);

• Unpasteurised milk and milk products such as cheese and yoghurt (both cows and goats milk products);

• Unwashed fruit and vegetables (take care when eating out and especially on holidays abroad and only choose cooked fruit and vegetables);

• Peanuts - avoid during pregnancy and lactation as it may help to avoid allergy;

• Alcohol - the balance of evidence suggests that drinking alcohol should be avoided

Answer 6

A little cheese is good for you while you are pregnant, but not too much. A very balanced and healthy diet is good for you during pregnancy.

Answer 7

At the exact moment that you are trying to conceive, I do not recommend eating anything. Before or after that time, soft cheeses shouldn't be a problem.

Answer 8

Sure.
