Observation : The risk of eating raw meats including eggs is the transmission of live bacteria and parasites. Most food-borne illnesses will present as acute nausea vomiting or diarrhea continue to monitor yourself for these symptoms. The baby will only be at risk if you are, follow up with your doctor.

Yes: Raw egg, while at risk for transmitting Salmonella infection, is a fairly safe food source in the majority of commercial raw egg products. Organic eggs, unfertilized eggs, and eggs that come from sources not regulated by the FDA are subject to higher risks of food poisoning for obvious reasons. If you are worried about risk, you can always have your stool tested should you develop GI signs

RAw egg -is ur worry: Though it is not ideal to eat raw eggs bec. it can sometimes get contaminated with the bacteria from the shell of the eggs, especially salmonella group, which causes typhod fever, in USA overall the incidence of enteric fever is less. It doesn't appear that ou have any feve/diarrhoea/abd. pain anything. Be assured that no bad things will happen to the baby.U don't have symptoms, baby will aot have
