Goodbye to fresh-squeezed orange juice?

I think I already know the answer to this question, but is it OK for me to freshly squeeze my own orange juice and drink it while pregnant? I was shopping today and bought a whole bag not really thinking about the whole pasturization thing. I guess I don't get how it's any different than peeling the orange and eating it, rather than juicing it and drinking it right away?

    You can make your own juice -- it's just like eating an orange. Try to stay away from nonpast. juice you buy in the store.

    I don't see any problem with it.

    It is just like eating an orange if you drink it right away. You'll be fine.

    Of course you can drink juice you squeeze out of an orange on your own -- it'd be just the same as eating the orange.  Now, I wouldn't squeeze a whole bunch of oranges and stick a pitcher full of juice in the fridge to drink over a few days -- the juice might grow bacteria (since it's not pasturized). 

    Enjoy your orange juice -- sounds yummy, and I'm jealous!

    How is this possibly any different than eating an orange??? Common sense people.

    Good question! I was about to buy fresh OJ from our grocery....big sign near it mentioned it wasn't pasteurized. Glad I saw the sign, I really wouldn't have thought about it.

    I would squeeze fresh at home and drink it right away, just don't let it sit out. You have the control over it, so it would be like eating a fresh orange.

    Enjoy!

    I agree with what the other people said.  As long as you drink it right away, it should be fine!!

    P.S. I'm sorry that some people were a little rude to you! It was a good question :)
