never heard anything to the contrary!

I'm sure it's safe. The bacteria it contains or encourages are all good for you.

i te it in my firs quite regularly.
like senora i never heard anything suggesting not to

typed too fast!
ate it in my 1st!

Yes, absolutely safe. NO problem at all. In fact, extremely good for you. Plus the healthy bacteria it contains helps protect your unborn child from future allergies so keep eating it.

Second Aloha on the allergies thing. Wish I had known about this when I was pregnant. Calcium will also be good for you in pregnancy.

Your friend was talking rubbish, I'm afraid!

a relative of mine was told by her midwife and obstetrician to avoid live yogurt because of the bacteria in it even thou they are good bacteria. Sounds a bit mad to me though and ive never been told this by anyone else

I'm sure she misunderstood. That just isn't right.

Babyworld , Babycentre , & BabyGenius all recommend eating live yogurt for pregnant women who suffer from thrush.

To be honest, I am struggling to find any other links that even mention mixing live yogurt and pregnancy, which pretty much suggests to me that it's never been credibly raised as a safety issue. All foods contain bacteria, it's just that "live" yogurt contiains an very high amount of the bacteria that are actively good for people.

ps: yogurt is also mentioned as a "good source" of calcium on almost any pregnancy website you look at, and none of these sites distinguish between yogurts that contain live cultures and those that don't. Yogurts that contain too much sugar or aspartame, but live cultures don't get a caution.
