Will Food poisoning hurt my unborn baby ?

Question

So i’ve heard from a mother recently that having food poisoning will not hurt an unborn baby. My question is why do pregnant woman have to watch what they eat to avoid food poisoning. I know it sucks to be sick but I thought it was it could harm the baby.

Answer

It’s not just food poisoning. It’s parasites from raw/undercooked foods, bacteria, etc. some of those can be harmful. However, now a days, pregnant women don’t need to be as strict with things as they used to.

Answer

Not baby directly.. But if you ha e sever diarrhea and vomiting it can cause you to go into preterm labour... Happened to me...

Answer

Certain microorganisms can harm the fetus, some don’t. It depends on what you are dealing with

Answer

You're watching what you eat when pregnant for other reasons not food poisoning. Talk to your doctor as to WHY certain foods are to be avoided. 🤦🏼‍♀️
