Also, I'm 2 days away from week 5! I'm nervous and excited and a little worried about the baby too! We should make a group for ladies in week 4 or 5!
For raw eggs, the real danger is that you may get salmonella--which is a bacterial infection. It's food poisoning! The concern is that pregnant women have somewhat weakened immune systems, so they're more vulnerable IF they happen to eat something with that bacteria.
So by themselves, raw eggs aren't a problem. There is just a VERY SMALL chance they would be carrying that bacteria, and that bacteria would be the problem. But the likelihood of that is practically zero...you would have been hearing about it in the news and such! Also, you'd be showing obvious symptoms by now, which you haven't mentioned, so you're fine.
So you're fine! The raw egg itself won't hurt your baby!
I figured out that i'm pragnent when i was in week 15... My gall bladder was removed in week 10. i had two operations under general anaesthetic and a x-ray... The baby is fine!
Raw eggs can be its not that they are in general dangerous.
Don't worry you'll be fine. Avoid from now on but the chance of u getting sick is rare
Hi
I don't think it would be a huge risk. I'm a first time mum as well and I actually found out last week I was 5 weeks pregnant and I was worried about all the foods I consumed but the doctor said should be fine. Hope this helps =)
