Brownie during pregnancy?

Question

im 36 weeks pregnant and i just made brownies for the first time since i been pregnant and i always liked to eat the extra chocolate on the bowl. well not thinking i did it tonight . is it gonna hurt the baby eating the uncooked batter?...

Answer 1

I think your ok. As long as you didn't go nuts and l**k the bowl clean :) I know its hard to resist!

Answer 2

no you should be fine

Answer 3

You will be ok. The amount of egg in the batter you ate was probably minimal

Answer 4

no not at all..i did once and my daughter is fine!i was worried because the eggs but my Doctor said it was fine..

i am almost 4 months pregnant and now i want brownies really bad!!

Answer 5

not unless you get really sick

Answer 6

you will be fine. Raw eggs aren't recomended but the real risk is salmonella which lives on the outside of the egg on the shell not inside the egg. Proper cleaning can reduce risk of transferring the bacteria to food. Eating a little brownie batter won't hurt you or baby.

No offense to you at all but I'm amazed at what some woman worry about while pregnant. We've become paranoid of eating anything while pregnant these days.  

Answer 7

Probably not.  There are raw eggs in the batter and that's the concern...that said, I've been eating raw batter for 28 years and have never gotten sick from it so I'd say odds are you'll be fine.

Answer 8

not at all!!!!

eat it and enjoy it!

Answer 9

as long as it dont av eggs in it if it does i wouldnt go there

Answer 10

Probably won't hurt anything as eggs are often pasteurized now... But you should be cautious.  My boyfriend made me brownies the other night too and wanted me to share in the bowl with him but I only took one bite before I realized there are raw eggs in the batter and may cause food poisoning/illness.

If you begin to get sick or start throwing up then you should probably call your Dr/go to the ER but you are probably going to be fine.

Answer 11

Raw eggs are out of the question for expectant mothers.  

Answer 12

no raw eggs

Answer 13

no,if its not done ALL the time and this is really the first time you've done it then I would not worry about it. I've done it once or twice with all 3 of my pregnancies and I'll tell you what when I was pregnant with my second daughter it was really hard to resist that brownie batter when my oldest and I would bake them together....I may have had a few more brownie batter bowls then I should have but she came out just fine and so did my oldest and the daughter I am pregnant with now is perfectly fine so I wouldn't worry about it.Just don't make it an everyday thing
