Is Homemade Yogurt Ok?

[kkar]

My family goes through tons of yogurt every week. I was thinking about buying a yogurt machine, but then my DH made me a bit paranoid. Is homemade yogurt safe to eat during pregnancy, or is it along the lines of soft/unpasturized cheese?

I have no idea. I would think it would be just as safe as regular yogurt if made with pasteurized milk... but that's a random guess. Ask your OB :)

As a side note, in my husband's culture, pretty much everybody makes their own yogurt. It's recommended to eat during pregnancy... not a food that women avoid.
