I totally understand those late-night cravings for delicious sandwiches. Just ensure it is a safe, pasteurized brand so you and baby stay healthy.

Shravani Muthukrishnan · Answer

It's best to check the bottle label first. As long as it is pasteurized or eggless, it is safe, but keep the portions limited.

Lavanya Muthukrishnan · Answer

My gynac said store-bought pasteurized mayo is safe, but cautioned against eating it from local street food stalls due to hygiene issues.

Bhramaramba Gautam · Answer

Our family elders always tell us to eat fresh, warm meals. Doctor also said commercial pasteurized one is okay occasionally, but avoid street food.

Jhanvi Annamalai · Answer

Commercial ones are pasteurized so they are safe in moderation! 🍔 Just check the label before eating!

Sonam Vyas · Answer

Better to eat fresh homemade curd or mint chutney instead for that creamy feel. Outside sauces can upset your stomach easily.

Anjali Madhavan · Answer

Keep your thoughts and your food choices clean during this special time. A little safe eggless mayo occasionally is fine, just be happy.

Anshu Patel · Answer

Haan na, craving toh hoti hai but check if it's eggless or pasteurized. Avoid eating homemade ones that use raw eggs.

Shweta Thakur · Answer

Avoid homemade raw egg mayo completely due to salmonella risk. Store-bought eggless mayo is fine once in a while.

Anshu Khandelwal · Answer

During my pregnancy, I had eggless mayo sometimes and it was fine. But post-delivery, I switched to very light foods to avoid gas.

Smita Jena · Answer

Oh, I crave burgers with tons of mayo so much these days! I just make sure it's commercial eggless mayo so it's safe.

Alka Talwar · Answer

Honestly, mayo has no real nutrition and is full of fat. Try to eat fresh ghar ka khana instead during this crucial time.
