I think your stressing a bit over this and that's probably more harmful to your baby than anything unpasteurised could be.





Any way, unless the ice cream is home made chances are it is pasteurised. Secondly, the only concerns with unpasteurised product is the bacteria that it may contain, and unless it has been poorly handled is more likely to improve your baby's immune system than cause it any detriment. Health professionals insist on perfect sanitation with everything, but a few good old fashioned germs are healthy.





I'd be more concerned about the chemical additives in the ice cream than the bacteria
Steph and Alexis I think her name was were both right. Ice-cream is okay to eat as long as it ISN'T soft serve. :-)





Here is a link to the do's and don'ts of eating during pregnancy as outlined by NSW Food Authority (I'm Australian). It is very informative and has all the does and don'ts which includes ice-cream and not eating soft-serve ice-cream. Hope it helps you! X

By the way, I eat ice-cream alot too - just not soft-serve :-)
No ice cream bought in stores or restaurants is harmful to baby while pregnant so eat up and enjoy the only places you do not want to get ice cream from unless you know it is pasteurized are farms that sell fresh ice cream.
If you go to their website, it should say somewhere what ice creams are pasterized and what ones arent. Also, try to avoid anything with Splenda in it, it can harm the baby.
I am pregnant right now and I am about to be due on sept 3,2009 and I have eat all kinds of ice cream it hasn't done anything to me . so I guess it's safe , and I have never heard that ice cream wild you are pregnant is on safe. good luck.
I eat all kinds of ice cream including the soft serve from mcdonalds. All my kids have come out perfect. Enjoy all the ice cream you want just be careful with your calorie intake. lol
Its safe to eat ice cream, actually pretty good for you, it has calcium and can help prevent heartburn, it coats your esophagus. Not only that it taste good :).
For pity sake, Baskin Robbins pasteurizes their product. It's a major company. If you're going to worry over anything, worry about catching a germ or virus from restaurant help that doesn't wash their hands after using the rest room.
Any ice cream that's sold in ice cream shops or in the store is fine to eat and pasteurized. I've never seen any unpasteurized anywhere.





Relax and enjoy your pregnancy without paranoia!
unless you made the ice cream yourself straight from the cow's teet, it's pasturized unless stated otherwise, indulge, just make sure you eat healthy stuff too and no gum pieces don't count as fruit :P
most ice cream is fine its only the ice-cream from ice-cream vans that your not technically supposed to have
it's pasteurized..unless the milk is RAW right from the farm, you don't need to worry...here in the states only people who live on farms or have cows drink unpasteurized milk.
Almost all stores and restaurants carry pasteurized ice cream products. The only place you might get some that isn't is at like a state fair or homemade ice cream. Enjoy!
They wouldn't be allowed to sell it without making it public knowledge that it was unpasteurized. You're safe. Enjoy your ice cream!
Any ice cream is ok unless it's soft serve. Just stay away from soft serve!! Eat alllll the bubble gum ice cream you want though :)
Baskin Robbins would have to have a disclamer for pregnant women not to eat the ice cream, You are just fine.
All commercial ice cream in America is made from pasteurized milk.
every ice cream was ok to eat i thought, its standing by the microwave too long that will harm your baby.
I have never seen Ice on the list of things to do not eat
my doctor told me all ice cream is safe except for soft serve.... meaning hard icecream is ok :)
