I am 29 weeks and if it is bad then I am bad with you! I had bought the pre-cut holiday cookies last week and opened the bag a little early....

I'm not sure how bad it is bcause since it's raw cookie dough, it has eggs in it. Eating it might not be the best idea because of salmonella. Ask the dr.

I'm sure a small amount wouldn't hurt you, but I'd stay away from anything raw in the future.

Here's the thing in my opinion... every time you eat raw eggs, there is a chance of salmonella- with cookie dough, traditional ceaser dressing, mayo. Now how many times have you eaten them (usually tons) and how many times have you gotten salmonella or sick (hopefully none).

When you eat these things while pregnant, the risk of salmonella is the same as when you're not pregnant. The difference is that IF you get salmonella, they can't really treat it because of the pregnancy and it can have a severely negative affect on the baby.

So you need to take your chances and asses the risk to yourself. Determine how much you want it, and what are the chances of getting sick, and if so, consider they really can't do much if you DO get sick.

Its up to you. Good luck!
