Medium-Rare Steak

Steaks are a great addition to your pregnancy diet since they are a good source of protein, iron, zinc, dietary creatine, and vitamin B12. Unfortunately, salmonella and Toxoplasma gondii, which can cause serious digestive upset, are most likely to be found in anything pink.

While some people may eat medium-rare or even rare steak without risking more than a few sick days, pregnant women must never consume anything less than well-done since it might cause dehydration from stomach issues, preterm delivery, and low amniotic fluid, and even birth defects. Before eating, thoroughly cook your steak. Although you might not like the flavor as much, you can at least rest assured your child is safe. Additionally, there is no difference between well-cooked and medium-rare steak.
