Is it safe to eat raw oysters during pregnancy?
You’ll want to skip raw oysters while you’re pregnant. Raw oysters may contain bacteria that can make you sick while you’re pregnant, even if they never bothered you before. Your immune system is suppressed during pregnancy (which helps your body not attack your growing baby), so you’re more susceptible to getting sick from food. The resulting illness from eating raw oysters could be as minor as mild flu symptoms or severe enough to cause miscarriage or other fetal damage.
