The cookie dough they use in ice cream is different than the cookie dough you bake with. I would just avoid the raw cookie dough from baking from now on. Cookie dough ice cream is fine though

Cookie dough ice cream is what most women eat since we're technically not supposed to eat raw cookie dough, but as long as it wasn't like a full tub then you'll be okay & so will your babygirl :) just don't do it all the time lol

However, the raw eggs in the cookie dough very well could cause an issue so I suggest not doing that anymore. I know it's hard. I just made chocolate fudge cookies & I wanted to eat the dough so bad, but wouldn't due to the raw egg.

You really shouldnt because of the raw egg, you cant un-eat it though.. i would just try yo watch what your doing. I LOVE raw cookie dough but have yet to eat it. Except (without realizing it) i ate cookie dough ice cream... my baby is fine though. so just watch if you start to get sick more then usual. And just let your doctor know at your next appt and see what they say.

As long as you didn't eat a ton I'm sure you'll be fine. I've slipped up and ate a little bit of brownie mix a few times and my baby boy is just fine.

Don't worry. How much did you eat? It is extremely rare to actually get sick or for it to harm the baby. Can't tell you how many spoonfuls I gave into with cookie dough, cake batter, etc since being pregnant and we're just fine :) I don't recommend eating it all the time, but a spoonful is not going to hurt you. You're okay.
