Mayo

[treebaby]

Hello everyone. I really feel silly asking this, but is it harmful using mayo while pregnant? I saw this on a web site as a food to avoid, but it's kind of hard to fathom not using it from time to time. Are they referring to homemade or are they really talking about store bought?

TIA,
Teresa

Well I was served it at several of my visits to the hospital this pregnancy, so I would think it's fine.

Hmm, I have not heard this. However, I would think store bought mayo is fine. Homemade is not as "processed," which is usually a good thing but in the case of raw eggs and pregnancy, I'd skip it for the time being.

I've been eating mayo! Love my tuna fish one or two times a week
