Most goat cheese is safe to eat during pregnancy.

If you do eat goat cheese during pregnancy the goat cheese should be heated up and melted to kill off any potential bacteria that may be present in the goat cheese.

Some goat cheese that you should avoid during pregnancy are goat cheeses such as soft goats cheeses including goats cheese such as chèvre or others with a similar rind.

Other types of goats cheese are safe during pregnancy.

Also most other cheeses are safe during pregnancy as well as long as the cheese is melted and heated up to kill bacteria.

The bacteria that can be in some cheese may cause harm to unborn babies and may complicate the pregnancy.
