You can definitely eat cheese, just make sure it's pasteurized. No need to overcomplicate things. Just check the back of the packet before buying, Amul and Britannia are totally safe.
Yes, you can eat cheese, but my doctor strictly told me to avoid unpasteurized soft cheeses like blue cheese or feta due to listeria risk. Regular processed cheese, paneer, and mozzarella are perfectly safe as long as they are made from pasteurized milk.
My mother-in-law was a bit skeptical about outside cheese, so she made fresh paneer for me at home. But processed cheese slices are also fine occasionally. Just eat fresh ghar ka khana as much as possible.
I'm in my 36th week now and honestly, cheese is one of the few things that brings me joy! Just eat the pasteurized ones, skip the fancy imported raw cheese, and you're good. Enjoy it while you can still sit comfortably!
When I was confused, I simply asked the clinical nutritionist at my hospital. She told me standard pasteurized cheese slices and cubes from brands like Amul are completely fine. Just check the packaging label to be sure!
Oh, I survived on cheese garlic bread during my first trimester! Just make sure it is pasteurized and well-cooked. Enjoy your cravings, just don't overdo the junk!
