Unpasteurised cheese

Hubby took me out for lunch today and I chose a dish that included Ogleshield cheese. As I hadn't heard of this, I checked when ordering and explained that I'm pregnant so need to be careful about eating cheese. The waiter explained it is a hard cheese, like cheddar so I thought it would be ok. I've just googled it out of curiosity and found it it's unpasteurised and not suitable for pregnant women. Should I be worried?

Hard unpasteurised cheeses are normally ok as they dont have a high moisture content. Conversely soft blue and mould ripened cheeses arent ok even if made from pasteurised milk as they have a high moisture content. They are ok if cooked before eating

Was the cheese cooked? If so, that makes it even more ok
