bacon — Yes during pregnancy
A note from Emily
Emily's honest take
Yes, mama, you can typically enjoy bacon while you're pregnant, but it's really important to make sure it's cooked all the way through until it's crispy and steaming hot. This helps eliminate any harmful bacteria like Listeria and Toxoplasma gondii, which can be dangerous during pregnancy. Because bacon is a processed meat and can be high in saturated fat and sodium, enjoying it in moderation is also a good idea.

Always check with your OB for personalized dietary advice.
