Why cant I eat eggs?

[Haliwali]

Iam 20weeks n been eating egg since I was 16weeks. Fried eggs mostly was having egg mayo until another prego women at work told me it was bad for the bby. Why thoe?

I am in the UK an its same here. I actually am quite careful when it comes to food. I was enjoyin an nice mayo egg sandwich until this women at work ruined it for me...lool..well noow I knoww.

They say to avoid raw eggs (which would be mayo and fried) because of a risk of bacteria that could give you an infection. I was told just use common sense. If the mayo seemed to be sitting out a long time, maybe avoid it. If the eggs are questionable, don't eat them. Basically, if you are concerned about getting sick from it not pregnant, avoid it when pregnant too.

We worry faaaaaar too much about everything (and we are given way too many warnings about stuff) in the U.S.

Sunny side up eggs are not good cuz it's not fully cooked but like boiled eggs and cooked eggs are fine:) I eat eggs! I crave sunny side up eggs but don't eat emm. My baby girl is healthy and big lol

My aunt (who is a doula) told me eggs are very good to eat while pregnant because they're an excellent source of protein!! That is with them being cooked thoroughly though! :)

When I was pregnant with my daughter 9 yrs ago I wasn't told anything to avoid specifically for food. The time around I was given this huge list. I haven't really followed it much. Eat what sounds good if that means eggs or lunch meat great. No point being scared by a statistic!

Its only a "concern" if eggs arent fully cooked (this includes the yolk) however, i dont pay any mind to that kind of stuff. I ate whatever i wanted with my first and she came out healthy as can be and weighed almost 8 lbs. With this baby, i did what they told me to as far as how much i should eat what i should eat what i should drink etc..and am now looking at a possibly growth restricted baby.

Might just be a coincidence but from now on i will be eating whatever i want and drinking what i want(with the major exception of alcohol and tobacco- i am staying away from both)

I ate eggs through my pregnancy...its a great food for protein :)

Never heard of that,i have a pregnancy book that says eggs are fine

[Ms_Steph_]

Agreed its not bad when they are fully cooked. However stay away from raw ones or things made with raw ones like mayo and certain dressings.

It's not bad as long as u cook the yolk very well other then that it's fine to eat eggs...

[Mamabays]

Never heard of eggs being bad.
