Someone told me earlier today that you are not supposed to eat soft serve icecream while pregnant. I'm pregnant with my 3rd child, and the doctor has never told me to stay away from it?!?!? I was told to stay away from unpasturized food, but not soft serve!! Just wondering if that was ture? Thanks!!
After reading the other moms' reasons - I would think if you are not high risk, than you probably have nothing to worry about. I had a tone of questions for my dr w/my second pregnancy of things to avoid and he said that I'm not high risk, so I really don't have anything to worry about and both my children are fine :) Besides, I don't know one pregnant women that COULD stay away from any kind of ice cream!! :)
The reason you need to stay away from it is that the companies don't always clean them like they should and bacteria grows in the machine. My doctor told me not to eat at soft serve places.
i had never heard listiria was in soft serve. i craved it so bad i ate it about everyday!! no problems here.
I had to re read that! thanks for the laugh! no really! the only reason soft serve ice cream would even be unsafe is if the machine isn't cleaned properly, or isn't cooling. people really go off on the deep end for pregnant women don't they. but if you are scared, your physician is the best source for answers (and are completely used to off the wall questions as you know). congrats on a beautiful family =D
there is a risk of listeria in soft serve ice cream and cold cuts. It is a not a huge risk but it is afood you should avoid.
Listeria can cause miscarriage.
i ate soft serve ice cream during my pregnancy.
I never heard that, and I had huge ice cream cravings. I ate alot of soft serve. I know about unpastureized foods and foods that have a family history of allergies, but I have not hears of soft serve in any of my books.
Whoever told you that is a nut. lol
