Hi can someone clear up a question?! I am 15 weeks pregnant and just love pizzas but someone has just told me I should not be eating them as mozzarella cheese is soft cheese? Can someone clear this up for me? Cheers!

Hkkm congratulations!!
I would not worry, I had pizza through out the all pregnancy and it's fine as long as it's cooked it's no problem. I have to admit I also had raw mozzarella. I'm Italian and I can't help it. Imagine the doctor had tols me that I was not allowed parmizan cheese and when I went to Italy I tolde my family and friends (which all had more then one kid alreday) they all looked at me as if I came from Marz. They had it all through the pregnancy and it was fine. Imagine an italian eating pasta without parmizan cheese on it and pregnant on top of it.
In any case I would not worry about the cooked mozzarella!

As long as the cheese is made from pasteurised milk it's OK. In fact, any soft cheese is OK as long as the milk was pasteurised. It's only non-pasteurised cheese that contains listeria bacteria. Also, I don't know if cooking makes a difference but I suspect that by the time the pizza comes out of the oven all the bacteria would be dead anyway.
(I have just been reading all about this topic as I just found out I'm pregnant).
