Undercooked or rare beef, poultry and uncooked seafood is not recommended during pregnancy because of the high risk of contamination from coliform bacteria, listeria, toxoplasmois and salmonella. The hormonal changes that a pregnant woman goes through make her more susceptible to infections than normal healthy adults. Consequences include miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth, and a potential fatal infection after birth. Updated: 07.28.10
