I am 15 weeks pregnant and accidentally ate unpasteurized raw cheese, just one bite. is it likely me and baby are safe? what is the actual percent risk this could harm me? i read it can take weeks to possible affect me. should i be worried?

One bite is probably unlikely to do much harm. You may get a little diarrhea if it does not agree with you. Also it is unlikely to harm your baby. Continue your normal diet and drink plenty of fluids to keep hydrated.
