Eggs
SafeEggs are very good for both you and your baby because they are tasty and contain essential nutrients. Eggs are rich with proteins. Choline is important for the growth and overall development of baby's brain. Also, eggs are nutritious, help to regulate cholesterol and provide essential vitamins like vitamin D, vitamin B12, and vitamin B2. Pregnant women are allowed to eat one to two eggs daily depending on their cholesterol level, so find out your cholesterol level and get recommendations from your doctor about consuming products with a higher cholesterol level. Be sure to cook eggs properly: firm yolks and firm scrambled eggs. You can cook it in different ways: fried, scrambled, baked, boiled, and so on! Raw eggs can contain a disease-causing bacteria called Salmonella which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, high fever, headache, abdominal pain, and dehydration. Don't forget that raw eggs are contained in egg flips, eggnog, smoothies, home-made mayonnaise and dressings, home-made ice cream, mousse and tiramisu, and similar. Sometimes egg yolk can increase cholesterol levels, and the egg itself can also cause allergies such as skin rashes, nasal congestion, hives, and other problems. So eat eggs carefully, wash them before cooking, and watch your health condition.
