Accidentally ate unpasteurized egg??

Question

Okay so I was having breakfast at my MIL's and the egg yolk was just a little runny which isn't a big deal to me normally because I thought they were pasteurized... well right after I finished the eggs my MIL says "these eggs are fresh too, my friends chickens just layed them this week" ????? Excuse me? And you didn't think to tell me? Uhg, I'm a little worried now :( I'm 17w5d. My MIL has caused me so much havoc this week and this is just topping it off

Answer

If they were local chickens really nothing to worry about. Those chickens were probably far healthier than farm chickens that have to get pasteurized! Tons of people grow chickens for eggs and get pregnant :)

Answer

Fresh is better, but I'm pretty sure eggs aren't ever pasteurized - just thinks like milk and juice (heated to almost a boil to kill bacteria).

Answer

Totally agree with the above comment. In fact farm fresh eggs is the only kind of egg I've eaten for this whole pregnancy and haven't had one single problem! We also drink raw goats milk too with no problems. Both are much healthier than the store bought stuff you get. So really you just did yourself and baby a favor!

Answer

You're fine! Fresh is actually better :)

Answer

I thought all eggs were unpasteurized. Wouldn't pasteurizing them would cook them.
