We eat beef at home sometimes and now that im pregnant im not sure if i should continue or skip it. Dont want to take any chance. Anyone been advised either way?
The main rule with any meat in pregnancy is thorough cooking, no pink in the middle. Undercooked meat is what they warn against. If its fully cooked and hygienic, its generally fine for those who eat it.
If you do eat beef, the key is that it should be very well cooked, never rare or undercooked, to avoid infection risk. Properly cooked meat can be a good iron and protein source. Just confirm with your gynac about your overall diet.
