Can I eat eggs while pregnant?
You can absolutely enjoy eggs during pregnancy, mama, as long as they are fully cooked or pasteurized!

It's wonderful that you're thinking about food safety! Leading health organizations like the FDA and CDC confirm that eggs are a great source of nutrients during pregnancy, but the key is to ensure they are cooked until both the yolk and white are firm. This thorough cooking helps eliminate any potential harmful bacteria like Salmonella.
This means avoiding raw or runny eggs, so skip things like soft-boiled, poached, or sunny-side-up eggs, as well as homemade items that might contain raw egg, like certain salad dressings, raw cookie dough, or eggnog. Most store-bought products containing eggs are generally safe because they use pasteurized eggs.
Always check with your OB for personalized advice, mama.
