Cheese while pregnant???

smbckr2smbckr2
in 1st Trimester
I remember reading to only eat hard cheeses, but lately I have been so worried about getting enough calcium. I have been eating the Sargento string cheese, which is mozzarella. I have had like 2 or 3 servings like every day the last week. Then for some reason today it dawned on me about the soft cheeses. Is this going to hurt my baby? I am so worried.

    The cheese just has to be pasteurized, it should say if it is on the label.

    That cheese is perfectly fine.  Nearly any cheese you will find in your grocery store is fine because most cheeses are pasteurized.  Pasteurized cheese = A OK, no matter the variety.

     This. The cheeses you can't have are the unpasteurized like brie, blue, some goat, feta. etc. You're fine with mozzarella, chedder, provalone, jalapeno, and the list goes on and on and on and on...

    My doctor said NO soft cheeses and she gave me a list of ones I should avoid including...

    Mexican styles: queso blanco, fresco, de hoja, asadero,

    Non-Pasturized feta, goat cheese, brie, camembert, blue-veined cheeses.

    Even most of the cheese you mentioned are pasteurized in the US. Just check the packaging. You only really need to worry about imported fancy cheeses.

    You can still eat feta!  Just double check the label to make sure it's pasteurized.

    Like PP said, most soft cheeses sold at your local grocery store are going to be pasteurized.  If you purchase your cheese at a special cheese shop, you'll need to pay a little closer attention, as they are going to be more likely to have the imported non-pasteurized kinds.
