Is eating ice cream safe during pregnancy?

I am 11 weeks pregnant, just had my first ultra sound and


baby's heartbeat is perfectly normal (thanks GOD). I have been craving for ice cream and my friends including my husband is stopping me because they said it is not safe. Is it true? Is eating ice cream


during pregnancy unsafe? Please enlighten me.Is eating ice cream safe during pregnancy?
It is the first time I have heard that ice cream may be unsafe during the pregnancy. I have had two pregnancies but I never faced any problem by eating ice cream





Ask your husband, and others who say so, the reasons for it being unsafe.





You can also look into the wrapper for the ingredients and ask your doctor if any of it would be unsafe.!!!!!Is eating ice cream safe during pregnancy?
I have heard a thing about the whippy icecream from icecream vans are a bit dodgy because of the bacteria that could be in the machines. Maybe McFlurries aswell for the same reason.





I didnt have that type of icecream during pregnancy just incase but the normal stuff from the freezer should be fine!!





Might be completely wrong and I cant remember where I heard it from!!
No way! Where did he get that warped idea to?? Icecream is a common craving during pregnancy. Your body craves what you're lacking. You're obviously lacking calcium. Some people go through a bucket of tom and jerry's a day during their pregnancy.





Icecream + Pregnancy = Natural (although not good for weight gain!)
When they say that ice cream is not good during pregnancy they are referring to the soft serve ice cream, like from McDonalds and the ice cream truck. Buy it from the super market and everything will be fine. I think the soft serve ice cream has a higher chance of containing Listeria(?? i think thats what its called)


best wishes
It's definitely safe, if it wasn't my wife would go mad probably. lol, She doesn't eat it a lot, but when she wants a certain kind of food, she wants it. Plain and simple, but she's overly safe about her pregnancy and she eats it. You are fine. Easy on the weight gain though, not because of looks or anything, but because if you go too far you have a greater risk of developing gestational diabetes. Not good.
if its not safe Im in big trouble, I love ice cream, and have eaten it throughout my pregnancy. but it is best to just call your OB and double check, they will know much better than your friends and husband.
I thought it was home made ice-cream? Just check to see if it has unpasterized milk in it- if so you shouldn't eat it. Check the ingredients and do a quick search on the net.
I have heard contradictory info about ice cream. I think though that it is only home-made ice cream and soft serve that you should avoid.
hmmm,, obviously it is safe.





i never recieved that warning





I ate ice cream all the time





and have a beautiful healthy 4 wk old girl.
ask your doctor to be sure but the truth is is pregnant woman eat whatever they want when they are pregnant personally I have never heard this before about ice cream not being safe to eat when women are pregnant
Of course it's safe, I practically lived on fried ice cream when I was pregnant with my last baby and she turned out fine.
