A member asked:

Is using bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) sodium in cooking harmful for pregnants?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: No, you can safely cook with bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) sodium (baking soda) while pregnant. Most commonly this is used as a leavening agent in baking, but some people might throw some into their spagetti sauce to make it less acidic. Best of luck with what you are preparing!
