Sunny side up eggs? Okay or no?

Question

Current 15 weeks pregnant and craving sunny side up eggs but told that they could be harmful- any thoughts?

Answer

I make them all the time and I’m 23 weeks. I just flip them at the very last second for 30 seconds or so before I put them on my plate. Yoke is still nice and runny. Not had an issue.

Answer

Considering there was just a giant recall of eggs due to salmonella with people in multiple places falling ill, that should be a huge red flag against eating undercooked eggs. Undercooked eggs are not recommended for anyone, but I'm not afraid to admit they're my favorite type of cooked egg. We have laying chickens so I know they're healthy birds but I still won't eat undercooked eggs while pregnant. I don't miss alcohol but I miss dippy eggs! But it's not worth the risk, no way. As someone else said, how could I live with myself if my baby was impacted because I chose to do what I wanted rather than do what's best?

Answer

as long as the whites are cooked you should be ok

Answer

I don’t do sunny side up, but I do “dippy” eggs... all last pregnancy and this. My fave! Just make sure the white is cooked through.

Answer

Everyone is different, I personally am not a risk taker and I avoid a lot of foods while pregnant. I personally could just never live with myself if something happened to my baby because of something I ate. Many women eat various “risky” foods their entire pregnancy and are perfectly fine. It’s your call.

Answer

lol I eat them. Even though pregnant women are warned against doing so. Just like non pregnant people, we can contract salmonella. But for us, it can potentially be harmful for our wee fetuses. In any case, I haven't heard of a salmonella case for a long time in my area. The last one was from lettuce even!! So, I eat free range organic eggs, myself. I understand the risk but it's sooooo low.
