Was about to order a pasta with parmesan and then stopped, remembered something about cheese in pregnancy. Im 2nd trimester. Is this particular one okay or should i avoid? Cheese rules confuse me so much.
I was so happy to hear parmesan is mostly okay because I sprinkled it on everything haha. Just go for the pasteurised packaged kind and enjoy your pasta yaar.
Hard cheeses are usually safe but if it is some imported soft or raw milk cheese, double check the label or ask your doctor. Better safe with cheeses during pregnancy.
My doctor said hard cheeses like parmesan that are made from pasteurised milk are generally fine. The ones to avoid are soft unpasteurised cheeses. I still checked the label for pasteurised just to be sure.
