I'm having strong cravings for cheese, especially mozzarella and cheddar. My friend warned me about certain cheeses during pregnancy, so I'm a bit confused. Can I safely indulge in cheese or should I avoid it?
Oh god I panicked so much after eating a slice of cheese pizza in my first month! But then my doc told me processed cheese like Amul block or slices are perfectly pasteurized and safe. So relax, you don't have to worry at all.
Yes, most cheese sold in India is pasteurized so it's absolutely safe to consume in moderation. However, if you are unsure about raw gourmet cheese, it is always best to confirm with your nutritionist or gynac at your next visit.
I am in my second trimester now and keep double checking every single thing I eat. Did you guys also get super paranoid about cheese and dairy? I feel so scared of getting infections.
Yes it is safe, but try to avoid raw unpasteurized ones or blue cheese. Stick to normal processed cheese or paneer made at home. If you ever feel severe stomach pain or vomiting though, don't rely on home remedies and call your doctor immediately.
Hamare yahan toh sab cheese mana karte hain garmi ki wajah se, par regular Amul cheese limited khana bilkul safe hai. Maine bhi apni pregnancy me khaya tha, baby ekdum healthy hai.
