How many eggs a week should my pregnant girlfriend be eating?

Question

i'm guessing two or three but she's mad for them.... hard boiled/scrambled never raw we know that....

Answer 1

I had really bad cravings for fried eggs (not with anything except a spoon of ketchup)for about 2 weeks of my pregnancy and ate 2 a day. (always hard yolk). I know they are not too good for you but honestly i could have sat and ate them all day so i was really trying to control myself with just 2 :)

Answer 2

if thats what she wants, let her have it, but of course never ever raw ;) tell her omlettes are good, she can have other stuff in them then ;)

Answer 3

Because of the high cholesterol found in eggs my recommendation would be no more than two per week, again to reiterate no raw eggs/ steer clear of mayonaise tiramisou or drinks like advocaat.  The risk here would be blood clotting to the baby and during the birth itself.  Many have had babies for years and not even think  about egg intake.... the choice is yours but over 1 a day and there is a problem. best wishes with the baby.

Answer 4

seven

Answer 5

They're high in cholesterol, they usuaaly say about 3 a week.

Answer 6

2 or 3 sounds good.

I would suggest that you (or she) take out the egg yolk from one egg and then she could have 1 more egg minus the cholesterol*

Answer 7

I had the same thing for eggs, i ate about 6 a day and both me and my baby had no problems during the pregnancy or birth. I suggest you just let her eat away, and mention it to the midwife and she what she says!
