During Pregnancy

It is generally safe for pregnant women to eat cheese during pregnancy.

Pregnant women need to be mindful of some soft cheeses like danish blue, gorgonzola, roquefort and soft cheese with white rinds. These cheeses need to be cooked before they can be consumed. This is because these cheeses contain moisture which provides an ideal environment for bacteria to grow.

Cheese does offer a range of health benefits for the pregnant women.

Cheese is rich in calcium which is beneficial for the bone development of the growing fetus.

Cheese is also rich in protein and minerals like potassium, phosphorus and magnesium which are beneficial for both the expecting mothers and the babies.
