Did you listen to part 1 about deli meat & listeria in pregnancy?
Is it safe for pregnant women to eat soft cheese?
"Don't eat soft cheese" - that's probably what you were told by your mom or doctor, right? Well, that "official" recommendation was probably skewed from the original version.
In any case, as of now, the CDC states that soft cheese is okay for pregnant women to eat if they are made with pasteurized milk.
